- In every district certain days are looked upon as being lucky. Fridays and Saturdays are supposed to be lucky days for changing from one to another. For building house and for beginning such as ploughing etc. Monday is supposed to be a lucky day.
Potatoes are supposed to be sown before the 1st May. Mangolds are supposed to be sown before the twelfth of May. The eleven days in the beginning of April were borrowed by March.

Those days was called Red Days.
