It’s good that we were reminded about Peter and Paul today. At my dacha, “Petrovka” always blooms just at this time - that’s what we in our family call these small white flowers. And the Apostle Peter was always closer to me, because he was also a fisherman.

On my site, too, these “Petrovkas” went early this year, right in time for the holiday. But Pavel is closer to me - I always loved reading his letters, everything there is so strict and to the point. Thanks for reminding me.

У нас на огороде тоже «Петровки» в этом году выскочили точно к празднику, даже раньше обычного. А я вот всегда больше к Павлу тянулась — его слова про «не я живу, но Христос во мне» прямо в душу запали ещё в молодости. Спасибо, что напомнили про обоих апостолов.

On my six hundred square meters, too, the Petrovkas came out today earlier than usual, right by July 12th. But I always respected Peter more - a fisherman, like me in my youth on the Volga, and his character was as hot as mine. Thanks for reminding me.

At our place in Constanța, at the restaurant, I just prepared a grilled carp last night and I thought of Petru, who was a fisherman like me when I go fishing. I haven't seen "Petrovki" in the yard yet, but I always remember July 12 because it's close to my birthday. Thank you for remembering both apostles.

I have a small bowl on the balcony. This year, I put “Petrovki” in it exactly two days before Eid. I always love the story of Peter when he fell into the water and cried out, “Lord, save me.” It is very similar to me. Thanks for the reminder.

Marius, grilled carp sounds good, especially when you catch it yourself in the pond. I remember that Petru was called right from the net, not just from the tables in the restaurant. What bait do you usually use when you go?

Ирина Комарова
In my area near Samara, too, these “Petrovkas” are pouring out in unison at the beginning of July. It's nice when both the garden and the calendar coincide. Do you fish yourself or did you just like the fact that Peter was a fisherman?

Marius, the grilled carp with a taste of mud is the best, especially when you prepare it yourself. I always remember July 12th because my grandmother used to make a simple cheese pie on that exact day, related to the apostles. What kind of bait do you prefer when you go fishing?

Yes, Irina, “Petrovka” also appears in my garden near St. Petersburg these days, especially after the rain. I fish, of course, from spring to autumn, mostly in the Gulf of Finland. What other mushrooms usually grow on your plot near Samara in July?

Тамара Смирнова
This year, too, my petrovkas came out right by the 12th, even the cucumbers came out earlier. And I understand about Peter - he’s hot, but then he pulled himself together, like the rest of us. What places did you fish on the Volga, Roman?

ميشيل حداد
Oh Joseph, the story of Peter drowning and crying out, “Lord, save me,” really resonates with me every time I feel like I’ve lost balance. I also have a small plant in the balcony, but this year “Petrovki” was a little late for me. What type of pot do you have, pottery or plastic?
П
Полина Беляева
Yes, after rain, in my Yaroslavl region, honey mushrooms immediately climb, as if on command. And near St. Petersburg on the Gulf of Finland, what kind of fish is best caught at this time? Chanterelles and russula usually appear on my site in July.
