The Natural History of Selborne

Young broods of moor-hens appear.  Lettuces that stood the winter are very fine.  Cut my St. foin: it is in full bloom, & a good crop:  this is the seventh crop…. swifts have eggs, but do not sit. Do they lay more than two?

Finished tacking the vines for the first time.  Planted-out annuals in theh basons down the field.

Planted vast rows of China-asters in the Garden.
