I want to grow those. I've grown for the first time some sprouting old potatoes and so far they are a doing well. Yours look very exotic. Hope they taste good. Mine won't be harvested for a couole of months.

I've got those as well! They're just bucket spuds on my deck but I'm excited. I'm up north so they won't be ready until September I reckon.
@CountScrofula i could have waited until september.. probably should have but they were the last thing in that section of my garden and I got impatient. Now all that i have left growing is my tomatoes and carolina reapers

@JamieDeer I'm sorry, did you say reapers????? Oh my!! 😍❤

I've seen those multi colored potatoes at the grocery store! Would make for some very interesting mashed potatoes!! How cool!!

What other cons & pros these GM potatoes have for health? There can be many health risks for genetically modified vegetables.

Variety? What did you grow.....hardiness....storage longevity.....more.
@Freeranger these are "Purple Magesty" its a midseason crop, harvest from chitted is about 2 months or 3 months if straight to soil after last frost. Mulch deeply to keep early and late blights back and watch for signs of verticillum wilt. Zones 3 through 9.. basically everywhere. Storage for potatoes is a complicated subject. Everyone has their own methods. Depends on how many you plant and your climate/ housing

@JamieDeer Great. Thanks. I may have to peruse this a bit further.

Are these organically grown or ingested with chemical's
@romell what does that even mean?
romell · 51-55, M
@JamieDeer are these potatoes natural

I've grown purple peppers before, they were also odd looking.
@Keeper purple peppers picked at their peak are positivly pleasant.

Can you make purple french fries???
WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F
@VampireOfDesire purple mash… purple wedges… purple tots

Make it all purple!
@VampireOfDesire so i did make some home fries, when you crisp up the skins and exposed sides, they turn brown. The inside stayed a blueish purple though.

unreal colors
@plungesponge quite real. You can thank the anthocyanins, peonidin and malvidi for their color realness.. and their antioxidant boost!
Coooooolll ☺️
