  • 1792: June 25, 1792 – Timothy Turner sowed 40 bushels of ashes on Baker’s hill: an unusual season for such manure!  Tryed for rats over the stable, & brewhouse with a ferret, but did not succeed.
  • 1791: June 25, 1791 – My brother’s straw-berries well-flavoured.  The vines here in bloom, & smell very sweet.
  • 1789: June 25, 1789 – Crop-gardeners sell their pease at market at 20d the sack, & their cauliflowers at 18d per dozen: pease abound so as hardly to pay for gathering.
  • 1787: June 25, 1787 – Nep. and niece Ben White brought little Ben.
  • 1786: June 25, 1786 – 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.
  • 1785: June 25, 1785 – Fallows dusty, & in mellow order. Young fawns in the Holt.  My walnut-trees are almost naked, & half-killed by the winter; while those at Rood are in full foliage, & shew fruit.
  • 1784: June 25, 1784 – Towards the end of June they haad snow in Austria, & the vines were frozen.
  • 1783: June 25, 1783 – Turned the swarths, but did not ted the hay.  Much honey-dew on the honey-suckles, laurels, great oak.
  • 1781: June 25, 1781 – Our fields of pease are in a sad lousy order.
  • 1776: June 25, 1776 – Vine just begins to blow: it began last year June 7: in 1774 June 26.  Wheat begins to blow.  Thomas’s bees swarm, & settle on the Balm of Gilead fir.  first swarm.
  • 1775: June 25, 1775 – Wheat in general out of bloom.  After so kind a blowing time we may from the heat of the summer expect an early, & plentiful wheat harvest.
  • 1772: June 25, 1772 – Hay in beautiful order.  Gardens suffer much for want of rain.
  • 1771: June 25, 1771 – Rain-b0w. Rock-like clouds.  Sweet evening.  Moonshine.
