Cauliflowers, Coss-lettuce, marrow-fat pease, carrots, summer-cabbage, & small beans in great profusion, & perfection.  Cherries begin to come in: artichokes for supper.  Bror Ben’s outlet swarms with the Scarabaeus solstitialis, which appears at Midsummer.  My two brothers gardens abound with all sorts of kitchen-crops.
