This is our dacha, where we spent all summer weekends and part of vacation. After hot June day water in metal drums became warm and my wife is watering tomatoes, paprika and lettuce in greenhouse.

We have bought this plot in 1989. It was piece of land with dimensions 20 meters in width and 30 meters in length covered by cutted trees and bushes. There were 2 skeletons of unfinished houses built with thick wood. My father and parents of my wife helped us to build basements for houses, reassembly the houses, cover them by roofs and make houses suitable for living. In early 1990s we stuck into soil seeds of plum to grow natural fence along border of plot and stuck the first couple of apple trees.

In late 1990s our gardener's assosiation (consisting of 200 plots by 6 sotkas) was connected to public electric network. In 2001 we ordered to drill water well and bought electrical water pump. Every morning we water the vegetables in greenhouses and beds, fill four metal drums by water from the well to use the water again in evening.

Last summer it was the first time when we harvested 5 buckets of yellow plums. But winter frosts were too cold and spring was dry. That is why I didnt see the plum trees in blossom, but there are many dry branches to cut.
