Mended the planks of the zigzag.  Bro. Tho. White sowed the naked part of the hanger with great quantities of hips, haws, sloes, & holly-berries.  In May last he sowed a pound of furze seeds on the same naked space; many of which appear to have grown: & lately he sowed two pounds more.  *added note:  Decembr 1790.  As fast as any of these seeds have sprouted, they have constantly been brouzed off, & bitten down by the sheep, which lie very hard on them, & will not suffer them to thrive.
