    @Chrissy Cross , since you are the only Hungarian speaker I know about, can you help me with a translation. I have seeds from Hungary that were developed in Szentes and cultivated in Matrafured. The name of the seed is Paradicsom Alaku Sarga Szentes. Any idea what it means?

    Are there any Russian speakers here? I need help with another seed from Russia.

    He pronounced It áll wrong.;)

    So it’s a yellow tomato shaped pepper.

    The Hungarian word for pepper is paprika so I don’t know where the Szentes Comes from...maybe it’s a type of pepper or a region??

    I thought you said you'd forgotten all the Hungarian you learned as a child CC?

    I never said that..I still speak it fluently....don’t write or read it as well.

    I spoke Hungarian to my husband and my mother until they died.

    Maybe it’s spanish you’re thinking of Holly....I was almost 4 when I left Argentina ...probably didn’t know all that much to begin with.

    No...I actually stopped speaking Hungarian after my mom died but only spoke it with her.

    I still do occasionally text in Hungarian with some friends from Hungary and I do have a Hungarian keyboard but it tires me out since I never really wrote it that well...plus the letters on the Hungarian keyboard are placed differently so that adds to the fatigue.

    Thanks so much, @Chrissy Cross. I knew Szentes was the town in which it was developed, but that was all I knew about the name. You filled in the rest. Thanks again.

    Thanks, @Holly Saunders. I had forgotten about Lisa. @Terry Page can you translate the seed name (transliterated) Kustovaya Orazhevaya or have Lisa translate it? It may just be orange squash/pumpkin or something like that. The seeds came from Russia and I have listed them as simply Russian Pumpkin in the past since I couldn't read the real name. Thanks.

    Can you copy and paste the original word in cyrillic @Don Alaska , the transliteration has produced a non Russian word, the nearest word to it sort of means orange colour, so a kind of orange shrub?

    I found it online, @Terry Page but it didn't have the cyrillic spelling in the information. Here is what it said:

    A Russian commercial variety that was bred at the Kuban Research Station and Vavilov's Plant Institute. Its Russian name literally translates in English to "Bushy Orange." It was sent to us by seed saver, Andrey Baranovski of Minsk (BELR BA A).

    Thank you for looking at it for me.
