  • 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.
