Why just eat only purple eggplant when you can dine on white, black, deep pink, green, or purple. Homegrown food offers fun for children. Unusual vegetable shapes, colors and sizes are appealing to children, and many of these specialty vegetables are only available in seed. Children can have fun growing white pumpkins, orange watermelons, UFO shaped summer squash, blue potatoes, golden beets, violet radishes or round yellow cucumbers. They will likely even want to taste the vegetables they have grown in their own garden.
Homegrown food offers edible table centerpieces.
Purple, green, red, yellow and orange sweet bell peppers make a beautiful, easy, edible table arrangement when placed in a pretty basket. Ornamental peppers in casual terra cotta pots or in elegant crystal also make a striking arrangement. For a patriotic theme try a large brandy snifter of red, white and purple radishes. For fragrance, you can't beat a container full of sweet smelling basils and parsleys. Homegrown food offers the opportunity to share your bounty.
