Stopp'd-down the shoots of the vine over the entry- 

 door. 



17. Sowed first endive-seed. 



Three vine-layers (last Year's-shoots) have produced 

 between them 39 bunches of Grapes. 



19. It being dripping weather, planted & pricked-out 

 plenty of Savoys, & Celeri ; trench'd-out one row of Celeri ; 

 & tyed-up several spring-sown Coss-lettuce. Those that 

 stood the winter are all gone to seed. 



Cold frosty air. 



The muscadine vine-cuttings in the gutter thrive well ; 

 & so do the cuttings of the same sort, & of the cluster-vine 

 in the nursery. 



The grafts of the Bergamot-pear, & knobbed-russet 

 from Ringmer take well. 



This cold, windy weather likely to injure the vine- 

 bloom at the end of the Dining-room. 



The Cantaleupe-bed earth'd all over down to the 

 Ground in an unusual thick manner. 



The Nova-Scotia-strawberry a good bearer, & ripe even 

 before the scarlet. 



June 20. Planted-out leeks, & Boorcole ; & sowed a 

 plot of turneps. Continual showers. 



21. On looking over the Cantaleupes, found one fruit 

 set, & more in a promising way. 



Some few bunches on the dining-room end have some 

 Grapes set on them. Showers. 



23. The Succado-melons (of which I have three basons 

 in the space of two lights) have got several fruit in full 

 bloom. 



Vast rains from the East. 



June 26. Great rains. 



27. Sowed a small plot of Coss-lettuce.
