What are the old sayings that you grew up with? For example "Knee high by the Fourth of July" For corn, or "Plant by the Light of the Moon," or "A mostly black woolly worm predicts a tough winter, while more brown indicates a gentler one."

Whether it is a saying that just your family used or a generic/well known saying we'd love to hear!
