The Colour Purple

[dandelion]

French bean 'Blauhilde',  Aubergine 'Diamond' and Egyptian Beetroot.
The aubergines are tiny;I hope they'll get bigger as the plants grow!

They look smashing Dandy, what are you going to turn them into. I love beetroot it is  one of my favourite veggies. Will your beans go green when cooked?

Lovely stuff I can taste it !! XX Jeannine

just love that pic!............purple (& pink) are my very favourite colours (like two of my little granddaughters ;))

like Jeannine, I'm intrigured to know if the beans change colour?

The beans do turn green on cooking. I bought just a couple of bean plants last year at a fair of one of the local horticultural societies. I was told it was 'the purple climbing one from the Organic Gardening Catalogue'.  The plants cropped very well so I saved the seed to grow this year.

Oh, but I carefully posioned them so you can't see the slug holes  ;D!

[Mrs Ava]

Slug holes, pah, mine are only just coming into flower, and the poor plants look pathetic!  I try every year and would be thrilled to harvest what you have there!

Beautiful Dandelion, I love different coloured veg, makes it more interesting to grow knowing you can't usually get it from a shop! ;D Your Aubs look GREAT, mine are only just flowering >:(
EJ have you tried Dwarf French purple Teepee? They cropped well for me last year (none this as the slugs got them all!) Got some seeds I can chuck at ya! ;D ;D
