Goose-berries, & currans are coddled on the trees by the frost.  Planted the basons in the fields with the annuals.  Began to tack the vine-shoots:  there will be a tollerable bloom.  The potatoes in the meadow seem to be all killed.  Aphides prevail on the many fruit-trees.  Medlar-tree blows.  The sun at setting shines up my great walk.
