Somewhat of a chilly feel begins to prevail in the mornings and evenings.  Sowed a pint of London prickly spinage seed to stand the winter.  The same quantity last year produced an incredible crop.  Trod & rolled in the seed.  In Mr Hale’s hop garden near Dell are several hills containing male plants, which now shed their farina: the female plants begin to blow.  Men hoe turnips, & hack pease.  Men house hay as black as old thatch.
