No frost. Planted four rows of broad beans in the orchard. Some snow still under hedges.

Sowed radishes, & parsley. Weeded the garden, & dug some ground.
Tapped the new hay-rick: the hay but moderate.
Coltsfoot blows. Stopped cucumbers. Sowed dwarf lark-spurs. Turned the dung.
Boys play at hop-scotch, & cricket. Some snow under hedges. The wry-neck returns, & pipes.
Sent me by Lord Stawell a Sea-mall, or Gull, & a Coccothraustes, or Gross-beak: the latter is seldom seen in England, & only in the winter.
Seven cart-loads of hot dung carried in for the cucumber-bed: 5 loads from Hale, 1 from Parsons, & 1 of my own.
Snow covers the ground. A large bough broken from the yew-tree, in the church yard, by the snow.
Deep snow, which damaged & broke my plum-trees, & hedges. This is much the greatest snow that we have seen this year. Some of the deep lanes are hardly passable.
Mr Edmd White took down my Barometer, & cleaned tube, & frame. It had not been meddled with for just 18 years, when my Bror John also took it down.
