Dacha is a relatively small countryside house with a fruit and vegetable garden. Many Russian families spend summer time in such houses and grow their own vegetables and fruits. It’s a matter of the culture and the way of life.
Dacha owners take pleasure in planting potatoes, carrots, beetroots, and other vegies. People start working on their plots in early spring and finish collecting crops by late autumn. Pensioners have no jobs in the city and may live in the countryside for the whole summer season. They have their own vegetables for the whole winter up to the next summer. Preserves such as pickled vegetables (especially cucumbers and tomatoes) and jams made from berries assist in improving and varying food rations during winter.
