Look right at the bottom.....

Homegrown Goodness - BLUE TOMATO, NO KIDDING!

hmmmmm interesting....

[MaureenHall]

Hmmmmmm not too sure about them , but there again I'm still not convinced about blue potatoes either - just wouldn't look "right" on my plate. Maybe if I ate them blindfolded I might change my mind

[FionaH]

oh that just looks wrong

Now...
I'm all for different colour veg...but a blue tomato???

I'll need a couple of weeks to get my head around it. but I can see me trying that next year, if not the year after.

I love to try anything new - and the stranger it is the better I like it!

I'll certainly be looking out for some seeds or perhaps buy some if available in a supermarket and recover the seed.

Maureen - don't be put off by the blue colour of potatos - they're great on flavour and I hope to grow again next year with some highland burgundy for a patriotic potato salad in the national colours!

[Demeter]

They look like plums!

The reason people in the food industry wear blue plasters is so that it is seen in food if it should come off ( they always do ) no way am i eating anything blue.

[Flummery]

Blue? Mind you, Black toms are brown, and the green ones are yellow-ish. You need a huge imagination usually!

[Two_Sheds]

I don't know what you're all looking at!
I clicked on Duronal's link and just got an ordinary tomato.

[SlugLobber]

How cool is that?!? Duronal, you are very bad, firstly for telling me about new toms to try, but also the second link was to another gardening forum!!!! Ooops!

[Flummery]

Urgh. Just checked the link - it looks toxic. Maybe even septic! Reminds me too closely of spud apples and the wild nightshades for comfort.

[SarzWix]

Looks a bit like the purple tomatillo. I won't be in any rush to grow it - blue pasta sauce doesn't really appeal

[Shazia]

Gives a whole new meaning to plum tomatoes

[Snadger]

I don't give a monkeys what it looks like........it's the taste that I judge a veggie/fruit on! Sounds interesting!
