These are exceptional items for your next county fair entry. We placed each of these in the last 2 county fairs and each won a blue ribbon in the "exotic" category.  The reason these are winners is because they are very rare and not many people have heard of them before. 

Achocha Cucumber: Also called the fat baby or Bolivian cucumber. These get peoples attention because of the menacing spikes on the outside flesh of the cucumber. But they are quite soft and harmless and tasty to eat. Heavy producer.

Popalo: This is a cilantro substitute.  Long after your cilantro has bolted, this plant is growing tall and putting out tons of flavor that is very similar to cilantro. If you love cilantro, you will love this plant. Grows up to 7 feet tall and heavy producer.

Chances are, the judges at your county fair have never seen these plants before.  They love new and exciting entries and that is what makes these two plants big winners!
