There was – we had gardens by the pump station, transplanted everything there.

5 (a) mòjto pa tvòjto pa na narèt po dvèsta mètra tàm

Mine, then yours, two hundred meters’ [long], all in a row –

6 (a) kòlko po màlko i tàm sàde:me pipèra tàm polìva:me

maybe a bit less – and we planted peppers there, and irrigated them.

7 (a) tùka sàmo kartofi sàdexme a pòsle oddòle onàa gradìna

[but] here we only planted potatoes. Then there was that garden below

19 (a) do kràja lòze u brèga dòle ràvno ta nasàdim domàti

vineyards along the hillside. It’s flat below, so [that’s where] I grow tomatoes,

20 (a) čùški màlko i tovà e

a few peppers, and that’s it.

9 (a) ò bùbt'e t'è sə gl'èdət jà tùkə udzàt' bəhč'ɤ̀tə ìməh

Oh, the silkworms, [how] you look after them. I had a garden here in back,

10 (a) zàt kɤ̀štətə c'àlə bəhč'ɤ̀ èj tàm ìmə bəščɤ̀ èj tàm

behind the house, an entire garden. There was a garden over there [by]

11 (a) vujnìcte d'àt nəpràhə kəzàrmə tvà b'àš'e bəhc'ɤ̀

where the soldiers built the barracks, that was a garden.

124 (a) napusnàa i gradìna napusnàa i sìčku

And [others] gave up [their] gardens, they gave up everything.

125 (GK) ama tì glèdam pàk tùka si pu posadìla si nèšto

But I look around here and I see that you’ve planted something anyway.

126 (a) ama nìe posadìjme za sadèn'e te segà dòždo kato zavelè

Well yes, we planted – planting [is one thing]. And just now some rain came

127 (a) è go segà se rascəftè

so things just now bloomed.
