In Russia some people, who have house in a village in the country, goes there for recreation. Also some people every year in May plant potatoes, to harvest them in September. I was just curious, does people in your country do so?

Well. Here in Croatia some people have weekend cottages ashore some in villages. Those from the first group are occasional fishermen, but rarely. Those who have houses in villages plant different vegetables, mostly for recreation. Most often they plant tomatoes, cucumbers...., and those more ambitious plant aubergines, courgettes....
So, it's pretty the same here.

And there's the third type, they have cottages in the country and they plant grapes, and then they make good wine from it.

Over here people are very proud if they have their grapevines, so they can have their own wine (even if only small amounts - 80-500 liters). But it's a status symbol, to be able to offer somebody your very own vine. Otherwise mostly people who live in apartments (but moved into them from houses) want to have some garden or something and they plant letuce, tomatoes, beans... It's for their own use, not for selling it, but they would probably be quite lost without it.

For potatoes they may only try with early sorts of potatoes (those you plant in late autumn and are ready in mid-spring). Otherwise only those who have enough land to then go and sell potatoes at the market are growing them.

Anyway, do those poeple in Russia also make their own vodka then?

Don't know about vodka. Only "samogon". :-)

It is made from "brazhka" - yeast, sugar and something. Don't know much about that. My grandmother do. :-)

Is your question about the recreationists in the country or about the agriculture in the country?

people here used to make their own palinca and vodka, but now, being included in the EU, they need a license for it >.> sucky-sucky-five-dollars
