My garden in 2014
Finally have transplanted all tomatoes and peppers between May 1 and May 9 at our dacha garden.
2 greenhouses (6m x3 m) 1 coldframe (6m x 3m) all filled with a cow manure. 1 old greenhouse is now a storage place for firewoods and garden tools. Totally: 70 tomato plants 35 sweet peppers 5 hot peppers (more than enough for me  )About 10 early tomato plants are to be transplanted in open soil in a week or so after last risks of spring frost. Total quantity of plants are Less than in 2000s, but I have got much less time for gardening this year and several years before. One greenhouse are still full of seedlings of cabbages and flowers. Gonna transplant them till the end of May. Early radish and spinach have been already eaten in April and early May salads  Cucumbers and squashes will be the next step in a week or so. Margarita (my younger daughter) help us sometimes and really like to pose on photoes Photoes were made on quite cheap HTC phone so the quality of pictures are Chinese

Another set of pictures "what goes around in the garden".
This bird-house is already full of hungry sterling babies - a very noisy family

Nice set up! How wonderful to have so much greenhouse growing space. And your daughter is adorable!
Speaking of cucumbers, I've meant to tell you that those Nevesta white cucumber seeds you sent me as a bonus some years ago, were extremely good! I would have saved seeds if they had not been a hybrid according to the packet. So far I have not found anything similar in seed catalogs here in the U.S.

Dee, I really like Nevesta (="Bride" in English) cuke as well, but it is a hybrid. Very nice appearance (a white long Chinese type) and quite crunchy. Probably you should give it a try for several years and make an excellent OP variety from it.

The whole place looks lovely.  Worth |

Thanks for positive comments to all. Margo is local star at our dacha indeed
Worth, this is a nice Alberta Spruce (Picea glauca) dwarf variety called "Daisy White". It looks very ornamenthal in May-June when its new foliage becomes lime green to milky-white. Needles turn to green in summer. Grows about 5 cm a year. I've got several other Canadian Conica conifers (as we called them here) with normal green foliage and of different shapes + yeses, thujas and one big Larch. You can see them all on pictures. Quote:

A Tree.  I had no idea what it was, I bet it wont grow here too bad, it is a lovely tree. PS You know good and well a teen aged boy will walk many kilometers for a pretty red headed girl.  A friend of mine has twin red head girls that are now 14, it is obvious why he doesn't show pictures any more.  Worth |

What an adorable helper you have! Keep posing pics of your garden. Looks awesome. I have been reading up on dacha gardens.

Thanks.
To own a dacha is a must have here, because we can't allow us to live in our own private houses with garden areas. They used to be too expensive for our average wages since October Revolution of 1917. Before that we all lived mostly in private houses like you now But Lenin thought that it should be the other way.So now most of week-ends are for lonely towns and crowdy dachas from the end of March to the early November Quote:
