Yiddish Proverbs

Yiddish proverbs, well known proverb and sayings, quotes and sayings from ancient time about gardening and plants. Jewish Proverbs are quite famous and are known to be very wise proverbs.

I remember hearing these proverbs as a child, even though I grew up in Sweden and I'm not Jewish. I don't think I had even heard of Jewish people, let alone Yiddish. But I heard my parents and teachers quoting these old Jewish proverbs about fruits and vegetables.
