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.
