Title: St Patrick's Day!!!
Post by: littlegem on March 17, 2006, 11:48:00
It's St Patrick's Day today, I bet some of you out there have got quirky, religious planting ideas for this day. I remember reading a thread that an irish guy planted his potatoes on this day, don't know how, would've thought they'd all be in the pub with the black stuff   ;) ;D ;D ;)

Being Irish I was keen to get my potatoes in on this special day.  I even took a half day off work.  However, when I got down to the lottie all of the old boys advised me against planting today as it's too cold
