Folk signs for May 19th

Among the people, Job, who was nicknamed the pea and borage, was considered the patron saint of the nineteenth of May. These names originated due to ancient folk signs that were associated with this day among the peasants. On May 19th, people paid attention to the weather and the behavior of animals or insects, so they could predict the future harvest of cucumbers this year.
In the Orthodox calendar, the nineteenth of May is the day when the righteous Job the Long–suffering is honored.
Traditions and omens for the nineteenth of May.
In many villages, especially in the northern regions, this day was often called "white peas." This day got its name because it was customary to sow peas in many villages on the nineteenth of May. The peasants were also engaged in planting cucumbers on this day. Starting from this May day, people began to wait for abundant dew, which is very favorable for cucumbers.
The presence of abundant dew at dawn also indicated a favorable time for planting peas. The people said: "Job scattered the dew–these are the peas." There were also a number of other signs that suggested that pea crops could be started. For example, crops were sown only in the prepared raw earth, and only on the waning moon. Moreover, before sowing, the peasants went out into the field to determine the quality of the future harvest by the wind.
If the wind is from the north, it means that the peas will be hard. The wind from the west promised small peas, and with a high probability – wormy. If the wind was from the south or east, the peasants boldly started sowing, as these winds were favorable.
Despite the fact that peasants usually started working in the fields at dawn, it was customary for the ancient Slavs to sow peas only at sunset. This was done so that sparrows, as well as other birds, could not see where the sowing was taking place. It was also forbidden to sow peas near roads. The same rule applied when planting turnips.
In addition to peas, farmers usually planned to plant legumes or pumpkins on this day. Cucumbers that were planted on the nineteenth of May were usually salted, as cucumbers are born strong and crispy during this period.
If people wanted to get early cucumber harvests as soon as possible, then special "warm beds" were arranged in this case - since ancient times they have helped people grow good crops even during cold periods. To create such a ridge, people used horse manure, which gave its natural heat to plants.
