April and May are the keys of the year.
A cold April the barn will fill.
A dry April not the farmer’s will; rain in April is what he wills.
Snow in April is manure; snow in March devours.
April cold and wet fills barn and barrel.
At St. Gorgen (24th) the meadow turns into hay.
April snow breeds grass.
Moist April clear June.
Wet May, dry July. (German.)
When on St. George (24th) rye has grown so high as to hide a crow therein, a good harvest may be expected.
