Monday Photo: Purple Cabbage
I spotted this fantastic cabbage at a community garden a few blocks from my house. Who says vegetables aren’t beautiful?

It’s indeed lovely, cabbage is always so beautiful. This year I discovered famosa cabbage, a really beautiful blue/green savoy cabbage, and I’m totally hooked!

Vegetables are beautiful! Rainbow chard, blue and purple potatoes, hillbilly heirloom tomatoes (meaty pink flesh inside) and beets (both their leaves and their root) are a few of my personal favorites! Beautiful picture!

Sorry to be off-topic, but how do you peel your fresh eggs so well???

Once I cook them I crack them all over and set them in ice water. Then, I peel each individual egg under running water. Try to get a piece of shell that is just attached to that little membrane and peel back the membrane instead of the whites.

While we are off subject with eggs, quick question. I purchased a peony at a department store for a real bargain. However, there are no flowers on it and before I plant it I need to know what color it will be. I do not think that it will flower this season, it is too small. Is there anyway to know the color without seeing a bloom?
Thanks,
Katie
