Dacha Days

The weather has been beautiful in Ivanovo and so we headed to the dacha on Friday. See the previous post for what a dacha (Summer house) is. Acutally most Russians have a dacha and enjoy going there on most weekends. Sometimes they live there during the summer.

We actually planted flowers and vegetables this year at the dacha. Nancy grew some cabbages, tomatoes and pumpkins at home and planted them at the dacha.

We were the talk of the neighborhood when we put wire baskets around the tomato plants. The Russians had never seen that before. Hopefully they will grow LOTS of tomatoes!
