Second year growing this one.

It looks black but it's a blue corn out of Peru. I pulled a few ears for supper, I'll probably let the rest dry and save for seed.

Oh Corn Girl..............

Does it change colour when you cook it ?

I found these on the internet a while back .....they almost dont look real:

What is it? It’s beautiful. @OogieBoogie

@Carissimi they are heirloom black nebula carrots .
Their beauty blows me away .

But apparently modern carrots have been bred for sweetness, so older varieties can be a little tough and taste like dirt😅

Pretty tho🤗

@OogieBoogie I remember you posting that a while back. I actually looked for seed. I've never grown carrots but maybe I'll give it a try next year.

@OogieBoogie It stayed black, the juice cooking out was close to beet red though.

I've got a black pea as well, haven't planted those in a couple of years though.

@OogieBoogie There are many colors, with a little search you can find some that aren't so "dirty", but you could grow them for greens too.
