A profusion of turneps probably all the kingdom over: on which account lean sheep are very dear.  Hops at present lie on hand: were carried to Weyhill, then to Andover: & now are bringing home again.  Snow gone except under hedges.  Birds do not seem to touch the berries of the tamus cummunis ‘tho they look very red, & inviting: the berries also of the bryonia alba seem not to be meddled with.  Perhaps they are too acrid.  There is a fine crop of clover of last spring: the frequent showers of last summer occasioned also a vast growth of grass.
