Well, aside from the fruits, this has been something of an adventure. First, I am following this website <https://ffxivchocobo.com/en>. Spent a ton of gil on the plants because I was impatient. VERY carefully followed the order... was going for soot black, got ink blue. Looked to ink blue to soot back, ended up with red wine. Did it to soot back, got ink blue again. No more, ink blue for all intents is black. Friend said she aw it as blue... but I dumped a screen cap then measured in Photoshop. Results were 8 RG and 10-12 B and kept that ratio in many spots while the numbers changed.

STILL, appreciate the answers re:gardening. I HAD read that to yield seeds, one had to do some form of cross breeding.
