June 5 — Hemp and Leonty the borage. Mosquitoes — good weather
CrimeaPRESS reports:
June 5 was popularly considered one of the most successful days for sowing hemp. Yes Yes! Once upon a time, this plant was very respected not at all for its «intoxicating» properties. It was actively used in everyday life. Clothes, oil, shoes, fabrics, threads, ropes were made from hemp … Hemp was made from the fibers of the stem, from which ropes and ropes were woven, rough fabric was woven from the fibers — a lace, which covered potatoes and grain in barns so that it would not freeze. This plant is a good honey plant, and therefore the bees took bribes from its flowers, and from the seeds they made oil, which they poured over porridge, ate it with bread.
In addition, they tried to plant the last vegetables on Leonty. This day is a kind of frontier in this regard: late with seedlings — you can’t make up for lost time. You will remain short and unkempt.
The church today honors the memory of the Bishop of Rostov. The day associated with the acquisition of his relics is celebrated. Information about the life of the bishop is rather contradictory and uninformative. It is known that the main events of its existence took place in the XII century. Leonty was engaged in preaching faith in Christ to children. For this he was persecuted by the pagans.
Weather signs:
- Midges and mosquitoes curl in a column? For good weather.
- The grass smells stronger than usual in the morning — to the rain.
- The bees swarm around the blooming mountain ash — tomorrow the weather will be clear.
- There are many ants around the anthill — the weather will be clear.
- Sunrise is accompanied by stuffiness — expect bad weather.
