Hey @Pasha838, are you Russian? I can also read, speak, and understand Russian as well as Ukrainian! Didn’t think there were many Slavics here.

Yes I am russian. I came to this forum, interested in photographs of chickens, ducks and geese, and since then I have been coming here periodically. I understand English quite well, but I speak with errors, because I studied it only from computer games and cartoons. Officially, I studied only German (at school, university, graduate school), but I can still speak Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese. During the collapse of the USSR, I wanted to emigrate to Latin America to graze pigs, cows or grow bananas there)) However, later on it turned out that there was no need to emigrate anywhere - I can grow potatoes and graze geese without leaving.
I was born in 1980 in Moscow, but spent my childhood in the Ukrainian city of Kharkov, where my parents moved (this was a long time ago, during the Soviet Union, when people were often sent to serve and work in other regions), later we returned to the Moscow region, and years later built a house here, and began to live with something like a small farm. But I'm not a farmer, I just live in the country, although I have geese, ducks, chickens, turkeys, guinea fowls, goats and a vegetable garden. Then I inherited an apartment, began to rent it out, and stopped working, I just live in the village, plant potatoes, graze goats, read books and do nothing. :D

Yes, but I'm a little tired, because today I crawled a lot, planting potatoes :) Here it's something like a tradition, everyone plant potatoes - professors of medicine, police officers, school teachers, officials, artists, bankers... Every spring everyone crawls to the point of stupefaction and plant potatoes :D And in most cases, this is all done manually - with the help of pitchforks and shovels. It seems that the habit of planting potatoes was instilled in us by Peter I in the 17th century.
More than us, potatoes are planted only in Belarus, but there they grow them professionally as farmers, while in our country it is something else, something like a ritual. Here are large fields with potatoes, but everyone who has at least a small piece of land will definitely plant potatoes too, regardless of who he works for and how close he is to a store where he can buy these potatoes :)
Tomorrow I'll probably take a picture of what I planted. There are long beds filled with goat old dung and sand. When the potatoes grow, I will take them for my lunch, and also boil them for the ducks. My ducks love boiled potatoes.
