    That was great S-H. The size of those fields was incredible. We don't have that type of farming here ( we are dairy/grain operations mostly) so it is interesting to see this. We can't grow peppers year round so our plants don't look like your fields do. And that horseradish? what you call horse radish looks like what we call "daikon radishes". We would use horseradish as a condiment, but i haven't grown the daikons, just seen them in the seed catalog. They are for cooking, though.
    Thanks for the info on the armenian cukes. I had no idea what to do with them...kind of like the daikon radishes..hmmm? I guess I should try the amenian cuke again and give the radish a try, too.

    Well we here hardly ever use Daikon radish in cooking. Because as far as I know, they are strictly used in salads, cut into coins, and sometimes pickled too (exactly like the regular cucumbers).

    By the way, let me now share with you all about what I did with some of the stuff I brought home with me... OK, first of all, I made coleslaw out of a cabbage that I picked from that farm. Really was excellent in taste, when I had it with fish yesterday night! :D

    Guavas too were excellent in taste, as well as big in size. So this was kind of strange, as usually the larger a fruit gets from it's normal size, the more bland it's taste becomes. But these were really amazing to taste!

    And the wheat, yes, that I am drying out in the sun - To plant and experiment with later! :D

    Thanks S-H for taking us along on this trip. Amazing farmlands. Everything looks so yummmy! I think, however, that I would have turned around once I got to the city and headed back to all that open beautiful land! :stew2:
