A fun must for amateur gardeners,

"This was our first try at growing potatoes and having a 9 yr. old son, the idea of purple potatoes couldn't be passed up.
Since our backyard is covered in asphalt and all beds must be created from scratch, I found some old milk crates, lined them with old cardboard boxes, and filled them with a mix of top soil, peat moss, and compost. The experiment was a success! In other words, if we "gray thumb" gardeners can grow these potatoes in old milk crates, you can too.
While we didn't get a huge amount of potatoes the ones we did were the best I've ever tasted. They retained almost all of their color when fried and lost about half when boiled. Boiled, the skins were crisp and the inside tender.
The attached picture shows them sliced prior to frying. They're dark purple, not black as it seems in the pic."
