  • 1793: March 11, 1793 – There is a glade cut thro’ the covert of the Holt opposite these windows, up to the great Lodge.  To this opening a herd of deer often resorts, & contributes to enliven & diversify the prospect, in itself beautiful & engaging.
  • 1791: March 11, 1791 – Sowed radishes, & parsley.  Weeded the garden, & dug some ground.
  • 1790: March 11, 1790 – Several hundreds of fieldfares on the hill: they probably congregate in order to migrate together.
  • 1786: March 11, 1786 – Snow wastes very fast.  Roofs clear of snow.  The ground appears.  About this time my niece Brown was brought to be of her fifth child, a girl, who encreases the number of my living nephews & nieces to 43.
  • 1775: March 11, 1775 – Vast rain.  This rain must occasion great floods.  The trufle-hunter came this morning, & took a few trufles: he complains that those fungi never abound in wet winters, & springs.
  • 1773: March 11, 1773 – Sun begins to look down over the hanger.
  • 1771: March 11, 1771 – Crocuss at this time used to be in full bloom. Only one or two roots blowed before this frost began. Made the bearing-cucumber bed with 8 cartloads of dung.
  • 1769: March 11, 1769 – Made the bearing cucumber-bed for four lights with seven loads of dung.  The bed was much wetted in making by the snow.
