Gardens are usually

bright colorful places full of plants that have lovely names like Dalia, Delphinium, Lady's Mantel, Swan flower, Inca lily....soft and lovely.

Leave it to me to buy: a rose called Black Magic (I think I now have two), a tomato called Black Prince and a black bell pepper (Mavras Bell).






I could say I that the name had nothing to do with influencing my buying decision....but I would be lying :D

  3. Lol - I wonder what my choices say about me... I bought a "chocolate" mint plant, and a brown pepper also called..."chocolate." Hmmm... Wish I'd found the black one though - cool!

  6. Remember the boxed chocs called Black Magic? Much more edible than roses. People eat roses after they watch those silly gastro-porn cooking shows. "Oh yes, just dip it in egg white and icing sugar...ho, ho!"

    Sorry, rambled there. Nice fruit 'n veg, well done etc, etc,
