Oh my Andre. Such a lovely fairyland your garden is. Those tulips, the fruit trees, all the things a sub tropical girl can never grow. Thank you for posting these.

Another, tedious, thing we did was to peel all the mushrooms we brought home. Often a big job. |

Your country home is charming. You don't see many old world style homes anymore. People think everything needs to be modernized now-a-days.
Truly a treasure. It's amazing you can maintain it so precisely from afar. - Lisa |

Thanks for your warm feedback.
We don't pick questionable mushrooms as well, but we have no many mushrooms with questions)) I've been picking different edible mushrooms from my early childhood. It's our national tradition for hundreds of years)

Really enjoyed your tour, giving us a chance to see how you garden. Lovely. What do you use birch tree juice for.

Or we can make kvass from birch tree juice along with bread, lemon, honey or herbs like mint, raspberry or black currant leaves + lemon acid.

Oh wow! That juice collecting looks very thorough and methodological... Is everyone there as industrious as you?
We used to have the same tradition, only now it is very restricted when and how it is allowed... (only when safe for the trees) Some companies sell it in small glass bottles. |

But we have many State agricultural enterprises and local farmers who are doing like that If you are doing it every year in the same forest you always take care of these trees. Nothing really bad about this at all... And I know that we are still wild people like our Russian ancesors from many many centuries ago, but we like to be so close to the nature We can buy birch tree juice in every grocery store in 1l tetrapack or 3l glass jars like this
