History

  • Received seed as part of a shipment from the Dan McMurray Community seed bank. Dan had labelled these as 'Honey' although one 'Honey' variety is a small yellow salad type. Dan had written that these were purple.
  • Reimer Seeds lists another version of 'Honey' which is dark pink/red in colour and a small salad type, and their pictures do not match Dan's pictures of a distinctly purple fruit.
  • There is yet a third variety which is a larger dark pink variety, closer to a beefsteak, again which doesn't match Dan's description of a 50-100g fruit.
  • In 2020 I temporarily renamed this variety to 'McMurray's Purple' for grow out to see what they most closely resemble. If they look like Dan's picture of a purple fruit, I think they are another yet distinct variety and deserve differentiation in name. If they grow closer to the Reimer's Seeds description I'll adjust my records accordingly.
