Weird Cherokee Green

[wxcrawler]

Hi everyone,

I grew a Cherokee Green this fall in a 20 gal. Smart Pot, using a mix of Fafard 52 Mix, Pine Bark Fines, Perlite, and coarse DE. I planted it on July 15, and picked my first fruit around the first week of October. They were completely normal is color and taste. Yum! The last two fruit I got from it, however were not normal in color. These two fruit were the last two produced, and I picked them this week. I've attached two pictures to show one of them. Instead of the normal amber color for Cherokee Green, these last two fruit had purple color. But it wasn't like it was just a normal Cherokee Purple color, either. I've never had this happen before, and was curious if anyone else has had a variety do something like this. I've tried to come up with how this could happen. Could it be the cooler overnight lows (several low to mid 40's)? Could it be the continuingly decreasing sunlight? Or maybe it's just a genetic fluke? I saved the seeds from the "normal" fruit and this "not-so-normal" fruit to see what I may get from them next Spring.
