For this reason, many people trust farmers’ wisdom about the weather. After all, they are the result of centuries of observation, right?

The Ice Saints and their meaning

Gardeners know: After the Ice Saints (Pankrazi, Servazi, Bonifazi, Mamertus and Sophie) there is no longer any danger of frost and you can take your plants outside without any worries and really blossom in the garden. Or as the farmers put it: “Until Pankratius, Servatius and Boniface are over, May is not safe from the cold.”

But what else do the golden farming rules say about the Ice Saints?
Mamertus on May 11th: “Saint Mamerz has a heart of ice.” On May 12th: “If it freezes on Pankratius, a lot of things in the garden will be ruined.” On May 13th the following applies: “There was no warm weather before Servatius , it’s getting nicer from day to day.” Sophie influences May 14th: “Sophie is called the cold one because she likes to bring cold weather.” and “The cold one Sophie, she likes to bring at the end a downpour.”

It is expected that the weather on this day will continue for a while. If it is sunny, it should stay that way for the next 7 weeks. Is it raining? Then a seven-week period of rain awaits us. Or as it originally says:
“The weather on Dormouse Day may last another seven weeks.” “If the Dormouse is wet, it rains nonstop.” Design: Deavita/Canva
