And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Weird purple tomatoes
Suddenly, at the end of the season, they've decided to put on a crop. First time growing these, and I frankly have no idea how to tell when they're ripe. There's enough of them, though, that we can pull them off one at a time and test.
Colored fruit may be racist. I'm not sure. Black tomatoes might be politically correct - best wait until they're completely black. Then you know you're on solid ground.
I've grown a few Black/Purple tomatoes, they usually still turn red, its just a darker red (sometimes VERY dark red) often with purple shoulders. Should be pictures on my blog from previous years (this year's crop sucks).

ReplyDeleteHow did this happen? Did a tomato get knocked up by an eggplant?

DeleteWhats the name of the variety?
