never plant until the frogs have croaked three times, because there will be a killing frost before then.

Don't have the money to buy three frogs each year. Sorry to hear that three frogs have to die for us farmers. Ha Ha

Did it say what type of frog?? I have so much water around me that most years if you planted say a day after you heard the first ones not much wold grow for long because there would still be a number of killing frosts

I have a customer that is in his 70s. He always says don"t plant corn until you can sit with your bare behind in the dirt for 5 minutes!

They vould sit a brave on the ground overnite and if he didn't get a cold the next morning day vould plant corn.

Gotta a friend who says almost the same thing. She does her garden work barefoot. If her feet get cold, too soon for seeds.
