- Unlucky to make a grave on Tuesday.
Early potatoes are planted immediately after St Patrick's Day.
The "Patrick's Pot" puts a beginning of the work.
Good sign for the rest of the year if snow falls in February.
All the months of the year curse a fair February."If Christmas day is bright and clear.
There will be two winters in the one year.""If Spring is late in coming the harvest will be bad."If the cuckoo sits on a bare thorn
Sell your cow, and buy corn."If a grave of necessity must be made on Tuesday, the sod must be removed on Monday.Money is never paid out on Hansel Monday, first Monday of the year, otherwise one will be paying out all the year.Unlucky to see the New Moon through glass.
