All the pretty colors

When you ask people what color a tomato is many will respond, "Red". Well our food system has developed a stereotype that all vegetables have only one color and one choice. At our house, if you ask our kids what color a tomato is you would probably hear, " yellow, black, purple, orange, white, bicolor, green and finally red". As far as shapes, we also have cherry, grape, pear, roma or big tomatoes. Alot of what we do is about exposing others to all the different choices available. Here is a short list of the colors of vegetables we are growing.

Tomatoes: Red, Orange, Yellow, Black/Purple, White, Bicolor and Green
Peppers: Red, Orange, Yellow, Lilac, Purple, White, Chocolate
Carrots: Red, Orange, Purple and Yellow
Cauliflower: White, Green, Purple, and Orange
Zucchini: Green and Yellow, but we have round and ribbed ones too!
Lettuce: Red, Green, and Red and Green
Bok Choy: Red and Green
Radishes: Red, Red and White, Pink and White
Potatoes: Yellow, Red, Purple and White

Here is a picture of some of our lettuce. I think it is very colorful and beautiful and very TASTY!
