I remember my grandfather talking about farming/gardening and some of the things you should do. Such as:

You plant corn when the oak leaves are the size of mouse ears.

You plant potatoes when the moon is down.

You plant cucumbers on the longest day of the year.

You use chicken manure where you will be planting things like corn and leafy vegetables.

You use pig manure where you will be planting the squash family.

I know there is a lot I cannot remember, if there are any other old f%&ts on this forum that can remember some, it would be interesting to hear them and it may bring back some memories.
