- 1791: September 20, 1791 – Some neighbours finish their hops. The whole air of the village of an evening is perfumed by effluvia from the hops drying in the kilns. Began to light a fire in the parlor.
- 1789: September 20, 1789 – Blackbirds feed on the elder berries.
- 1787: September 20, 1787 – Saw pheasants at long coppice. My well sinks much, & is very low.
- 1783: September 20, 1783 – Fungi on the hanger are Clavaria, several sorts: Boleti, several. Mr & Mrs Richardson came.
- 1782: September 20, 1782 – One little starveling wasp.
- 1781: September 20, 1781 – The Well is now so low, that Thomas found some difficulty in getting water sufficient to Brew with.
- 1777: September 20, 1777 – Some corn abroad: a vast burden of straw, & many ricks.
- 1776: September 20, 1776 – Peaches, & nect. rot. Wasps are busy still. *Large earth-worms now abound on my grass-plot, where the ground was sunk more than a foot. At first when the earth was removed, none seemed to remain: but whether they were bred from eggs that were concealed in the turf, is hard to say. Worms do not seem to inhabit beneath the vegetable mould.
- 1771: September 20, 1771 – Rain in the night. Spring sown wheat all housed.
- 1768: September 20, 1768 – A few wasps which spoil ye grapes.
