and the sauerkraut, and the Saku beer! Vhoopee!

Found this on the web:

"Saint Gertrude's Day
March 17 may be St. Patrick's Day to many people around the world, but to old Pennsylvania Dutchmen, it was known as St. Gertrude's Day. It was the beginning of the planting season; because on March 17, Dutchmen planted peas, potatoes and onions.

St. Gertrude, sometimes called St. Gertraut, was a seventh century Belgium nun. Early German almanacs designated March 17 as St. Gertrude's Day "
