Certain Days If you are building a house put a medal of St. Benedict in every corner to bring you good luck and don't go into a new house on a Tuesday or you will have no luck. Generally all the old people used to sow their crops before the sixth of April and on that day they would go to the bog. Turnips have to be sown before the 11th of June or they will be no good. The winter wheat has to be sown before the 1st of November and the Spring wheat before the 6th of April. If you want to keep down weeds in your ground sow your oats on the 18th of April. Lizzie Coyne, Kildangan, from my father Thomas Coyne, Farmer.
