Darn it. I was thinking about them.

[DannyK]

Just looked up images. Had to turn down brightness! And to think people have problems with purple potatoes! What do they taste like? Are they worth growing?

[Jay-ell]

Green, purple and yellow - and that's without the virus.

I'm with you lottie. Never heard of them.
After a quick google, they look like very colourful spuds.
Think I'll give them a miss this year.

[Jay-ell]

The defraud report said they were worried that the virus can affect spuds, toms, peppers, beets, spinach, courgettes, pumpkin, cucumbers, etc.

Pretty scary eh?

Guess I'll stick to plainer root crops like potato beans, tuberous nasturtiums and turnip rooted chervil. Although for colour there's the Oca.

Another one who had to google and looking at the images they look more like sweeties than veg.
