Granny says...

Rural wisdom is often passed to new generations through folk sayings. Here are a few of my favorites from my Granny Smith:

·       For every fog in August, we’ll have another snow in winter.

·       Do it right the first time and you won’t have to lick your calf over.

·       Plant seeds for above-ground plants during the time of a new moon to a full moon, the waxing phase. This is also the best time to fertilize.

·       Plant crops that grow below ground, such as potatoes and carrots, from the full moon to the dark of the moon, or the waning phase.

·       A red sunrise in the morning means rain before lunch. A red sunset late in the afternoon means no rain.

·       When cows are lying down in a field, rain is on its way.
