May 7

  • 1791: May 7, 1791 – Vast bloom on my nonpareils.  The orchard is mown for the horses.  Cut the stalks of garden rhubarb to make tarts: the plants are very strong.
  • 1787: May 7, 1787 – The large white pippin-tree full of bloom.  No house-martin seen yet!
  • 1785: May 7, 1785 – Pastures yellow with dandelions.  Meadow-foxtail grass, alopercurus pratensis, in bloom.
  • 1781: May 7, 1781 – Vast bloom among the apples; the crop but small.  No rain to measure since April 12.
  • 1780: May 7, 1780 – Wild cherries in bloom make a fine show in my hedges.
  • 1772: May 7, 1772 – No dews: so that the grass-walks get rough for want of mowing.  Gardens suffer from want of rain.
  • 1771: May 7, 1771 – Grass & corn grow very fast.
  • 1770: May 7, 1770 – Grass-hopper lark.
  • 1769: May 7, 1769 – Caprimulgus!
