Two years ago we received copies of several journals from Thailand with the description of excursions at Dacha.
Thai travel magazine about Dacha
Now we have the news from France. A new instance of a popular guidebook described the trip to Dacha on their pages!
Russian dish with potato
In early may, we planted potatoes in the garden of Soviet Dacha in Moscow. At the begining of June we hilled it to have more tubers. In early July, the potato has started to bloom and now it bears berries.
Potatoes were introduced in Russia by Tsar Peter the Great, who brought potatoes from Holland in the early 18th century.
Russian peasants were afraid to grow unknown plant. There have been several cases of poisoning. The fact that the berries of the potato are poisonous, but it looks like small tomatoes.
At first we chose a location for our pond in spot that gets mixed sun and shade, since this environment allows plants to grow and keeps algae at bay.
We know that there are no any gas or electric lines and other important constructions. This place is in front of old house under the apple tree. But we didn’t think about the leaves. And when the pond was ready it was full of apple leaves and small green apples.
Our Dacha is more than 60 years old. Here grows a lot of trees, herbs and other plants. But we never tried to make ponds in the garden! And now we decided to design the place near old house with a small handmade pond.
Handmade pond
Today we planted potatoes.
In a Russian village say that potatoes should be planted when the birch leaves are the size of the Soviet coin 2 kopeks.
The leaves on our birch tree blossomed and became big and the nights are warm now. It's time to plant potatoes.
In the villages of potatoes are planted on a large field using a horse and plow.
It's a feast for the entire village.
At our Dacha we have only one small plot of land and the small line for the potato. Here we're digging out a hole for each potato with the shovel.

Congratulations with the Victory Day!
Today in Moscow held the most beautiful military parade in my life.
For the first time there were so many participants.
For the first time in orderly rows allies marched. For the first time in the parade was attended by girls from cadet school. And how gracefully and smoothly went the Chinese military!
Armor affects everybody its strength, tanks and guns looks strange on the main square of the country.
And of course everyone could see virtuosos in the sky. Fighters, at tremendous speeds flying figure 70.
Planes and helicopters were returning from the Red square and flew over the Moscow and our Dacha.
