[Sca-cooks] Harvest times

[Jeff Gedney]

well done!
A nice summary and you managed to include the "Julian-Gregorian" 
shift - which anyone who purports to be Elizabethan must be 
completely aware of, as England and the Protestant countries 
refused to go along with the Gregorian change (as it was a Papal
degree). 
The English also reconned the Year change on March 25, and 
therefore the same exact day of March 13, 1589 in Pisa was 
also March 2, 1588 in London.
...This is why some modern scholars often will write the date of 
an English event in the first quarter of the year as (using the 
example above) March 2, 1588/9 

Fun stuff, eh?
