Like other Russian families, you stretch your cash income by growing much of your food--plums, raspberries, currants, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, cucumbers and tomatoes. You also supplement your diet by fishing in local rivers and trading some of your produce for fresh milk and cheese.
What if:
The Russian growing season, which in many parts of the country lasts only a few months, is shortened by a cold spring? Instead of watering and weeding around your young plants, you are brushing snow from dead seedlings. There is not enough time or money to replant.
What would you do to make ends meet?
