Hey - I know I've said stuff was shipped when it wasn't before. I'm never doing it again, bottom line. And yes I did actually mail laserterd's laser yesterday.
freshert - a slight problem has cropped up, I accidentally broke it while attempting to tweak it :O
But I've worked with these lasers for a while now, I know them inside out and I can fix it, it's just a matter of time and work. It's just an electrical connection that needs resoldering.

well... it's just that it turns out to be the least-common color for most vegetables (including me).freshert said:
(OT) Have you clicked on any of the purple P's in my sig?

Whoa, I love snowpeas! How do you make them purple? Please don't say you crossed them with eggplants :<
I guess you haven't had too many kinds of eggplant... my fave is Listada di Gandia:VillageIdiot said:
I made the purple edible-podded peas by crossing a green "sugar snap" type with a shelling (dry) pea that has a very tough but purple pod. Then all it took was about 12 years of selection, back-crossing, luck, intuition and a purple thumb or two.
You should see my purple sweet corn - it bleeds like a beet, stains your fingers purple!
- it's good though! [sub];-)[/sub]

Man, what the hell? I jump to the last page and see it's about snow peas. Still, does anyone know about hand-polinating tomatoes? I'm serious, I've got a lot of blossoms, but very few fruit!

tic, toc... what the hock?
you say tomayto, he says tomahto
hock, hock... news there?
...erm, as I was trying to say: that's symptomatic of plant stress. Tomatoes are self-pollinating (generally) so hand-pollinating won't do much good. The most likely cause of poor fruit set is temperature extremes; blossoms will abort if it's too hot during the day or if it gets too cold at night. Older varieties "heirlooms" are more susceptible to this; as are big beefsteak types. A modern hybrid like "better boy" will be more reliable than most - but not nearly as tasty as a Goldie!

THREAD HIJACK!
hmm.. what about eggplant?
and asparagus and spinach can be purple, as well as potatoes, rhubarb, turnips, squash, chard, and a number of seaweeds... (just off the top of my head)
I'd say blue is a much rarer color in vegetables.
Nice work with those peas though, I can't say I've seen them in purple before... Have any of them fully stabilized yet? Are you doing this just through genetics or are you depriving them of nitrogen in a cold environment or something?
edit: oh hey, there's another page to this thread... and it's already been fully hijacked already
