Wheat-harvest in general seems to be finished, except where there is turnep wheat.  Fifteen wasps nests have been destroyed round the village; yet those plunderers devour the plum, & eat holes in the peaches & nectarines before they are ripe; & will soon attack the grapes.  Grapes begin to turn colour: they are forward this year.  Harvest-weather was much finer at Ringmer than Selborne.  Some wheat a little grown at Newton.
