One of my favorites is to eat it with ravioli. Melt some butter in a frying pan at low heat and add some Maras flakes to it. Stir until the flakes are evenly distributed. Add yogurt on ravioli and top dress yogurt with the mix . I love it.

Got any good suggestions for using this pepper?

This is clarified now. This melon's strain is 589: http://anatohum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=30. Strain 637 has round fruits with same skin pattern while strain 637 is elongated.

Chance
the one you sent me says 637 so is it 637 or 589

[chancethegardener]

I was told that my seeds belonged to 637 but I think the seeds were mixed up. The seeds I sent you are 589.

[frdlturner]

thanks I will change the number

Also, Kirkagac 637 (strain with round fruits) is considered as the standard Kirkagac variety and is usually referred to as Kirkagac, without the strain name. In some regions, Kirkagac (637) is also called Altinbas. It may sound a little confusing so here is a summary:

- Kirkagac 589: Elongated fruits with yellow/orange background and dark-green patterns.
- Kirkagac, Kirkagac 637 or Altinbas: Round fruits with similar patterns.

I have several heirloom Turkish seed varieties listed at Double Helix Farms. I have a few others to trial this coming year. You might be interested in looking at these:

http://doublehelixfarms.com/yer-domatiz

http://doublehelixfarms.com/Turkish-Smooth-Cucumber

http://doublehelixfarms.com/anatolia

http://doublehelixfarms.com/Smyrna-Pepper

http://doublehelixfarms.com/finike

I recall seeing some other tomatoes that were from Turkey. I think the ones I have came from Dan who has passed. I suspect the other ones I have seen were also from him.

Also, last year I saw some really interesting melon seeds being sold on Ebay that were coming from Turkey. I think I bought some but did not plant them.

One of these days I will actually look through all of my seeds.

Hi Steve,

Actually I purchased Yer Domatiz, Anatolia and Finike from you last year. I have a large collection of tomatoes, peppers, melons and watermelons, and I will be trialing some of them this year.

You currently offer a Turkish cucumber variety. Do you know what province this cucumber belongs to? Also, how did you decide to name the Turkish pepper in your list (Smyrna is the ancient Greek name for Izmir province of Turkey)?

Both are from "tourist" saved seeds and sent to me labeled as listed. I grew them and liked them both so I listed them. That is about all I know.

Hi Chance,
I just now found this thread (I was away from the forum for a while in late summer/fall). I am very interested in vegetables from this region as my family is of Armenian heritage. I just registered at your forum. Do you think you will have eggplants on your list soon? I am very fond of them. Also interested in melons and moschata-type squash. Heck, basically anything on your list where the flowers can be bagged so as to avoid cross-contamination (not sure how one would bag beans). I don't have a huge garden, but would love to help out and enjoy the plants.

Laura
