Hans Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Saw a grainy black and white photo of an action in Ukraine, the terrain "looked" like it was fought over a French Vineyard. Tall groups of plants in near hedge row type style, classical vineyard. I'm fairly sure they don't grow grapes in the Ukraine so does anyone have any idea what this crop might have been? (building a scenario based on that photo and really need to be able to label what most of the terrain is!) Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelt Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Does the greenery look like this (original page)? Then we're looking at hop plants. Used in the making of beer. [Edit: hop cultivations are called "hop gardens."] Regards, David [ June 13, 2003, 08:20 AM: Message edited by: Trap One ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans Posted June 13, 2003 Author Share Posted June 13, 2003 Yes hops, that is probably it. The picture I saw had a wider spread but they were probably growing smaller vegetables between the rows. Thanks that was a puzzler Oh to the wine growers of the Ukraine, my humblest apologies for even SUGGESTING that the black soil of Ukraine isn't capable of growing grapes!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undead reindeer cavalry Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 they do grow grapes in Ukraine, and they are quite famous for it. Ukraine has a very long tradition of wine making. edit: well, perhaps not actually famous *grin*, but the patriots of Ukraine are proud of their wines.
