Lore of Certain Days  [duchas:4964706]

The farmers around Duleek would not sow oats until after 17th March. St Patrick turned the sod on that day  and it was thought that the cold left the ground so that there would be plenty of growth from that on.

            Told by
                       Patrick Smith
                          Bolies, Duleek
