Let’s bust some myths...

[CGI_Ram]

I’ve got one... Ask your own... might be interesting...

Not sure if anyone can tell me;

Is it true... if you toss grass seed on the ground as the last spring snow melts... will grass really grow good from that?

I‘ve always heard that. Never tried it. Does it work?

Here's a folk tale in Kansas that if you cut a persimmons in half and you see the shape of a spoon or a knife will tell you what sort of winter you'll have..
spoon = deep snow
knife = bitter cold
snow shovel = CGI Winter

I think this one is BS. Reading a little, cold and snow is generally reason to pause.

The weeds I grow in my yard love the snow...

• When a single woman heard her first whippoorwill in springtime, she must have felt her heart lurch in panic, for if the bird did not call again, she would remain single for a year. If the birdsong continued, she was fated to remain single unless she had been quick-thinking and made a wish upon hearing the first call. If she kept that wish secret, she ultimately would be married.
• Whippoorwills singing near a house were an omen of death, or at least of bad luck.
• A man could rid himself of an aching back if he turned somersaults in time to whippoorwill calls.
• If an Omaha tribe Native American heard a whippoorwill’s called invitation, he or she was advised to decline it. If the bird then stopped calling, a person who had answered would die. But if the calls continued, the person would have a long life.
• The Colorado Utes believed that the whippoorwill was one of the gods of the night and could transform a frog into the Moon.
• The Iroquois believed that moccasin flowers were the shoes of whippoorwills.

My father believed this.

My grandmother told me that you can predict the severity of the upcoming winter by the size of the hairs on wooly worms in the fall.

My grandfather showed me that a ring around the moon means rain the next day.
They were both born before 1920 in the Ozarks and I wish I remembered more of their old timey knowledge.

Ohh, another one. If you are walking through the brush in the summer, and you catch a strong smell of cucumbers, a copperhead snake is nearby. That one I know is true.
(they dont always produce that smell, but they either do it to attract mates or to alert - like its close cousin the rattlesnake uses its rattle.

I can explain this one. Snow recharges the water table for starters, plus the ground is soft from being warmed and wet. Its also porous from being grown because the water in it expands. The moist porous ground is great for rooting. But there is another factor to consider. For ideal germination grass seed needs warm days and cold nights. If you sow the seeds too early and you get a warm spell that we call Indian Summer, then the seed may germinate and then die once temperatures drop again. Immature grass is not hardy.
But if you sow it later then its likely to sit dormant until the proper temperatures are reached.

I play it safe and wait until it gets a bit warmer in the day

Yes!

I always heard... The smaller the brown patch, the colder the winter.

I think I’ve also heard the position of the patch predicts early or late winter...
