Not just green

I love to see rows of leafy green veg at the allotment, but I like to see a bit of contrasting colour too.  So this year we have been growing some different coloured vegetables.

Like purple podded peas

The peas are green inside.


Purple kale



Purple french beans

These go green once cooked.


Red salad leaves



Lollo rosso lettuce


And a splash of red from the chard stems



Are you growing any different coloured vegetables on your vegetable plot?

  2. I have never seen purple podded peas! We grew yellow courgettes last year but have gone back to the green this year. We have tried yellow yellow cucumbers this year which have been successful.
