Pixie, one year I planted any vegetable I could find that was purple. Beans, Kohlrabi, Peppers etc. That may have been the year I started the Palace Purple seed, too. I have 3 of them that always get lifted by frost. Today I lifted them, divided and potted them all up. I now have a dozen, if they do well I'll have to find a spot for them. Why do I do that?

One good thing that came from the Monsoon. I think it severely knocked down the Gypsy moth population. They have not grown in the last 10 days and are far fewer, thank heaven.
I read that prolonged wet spells breed a virus that attacks them. Works for me, LOL.

All that rain did some good for my sneakers, too!
