saturday morning

there was a late germinating maple tree hiding in a geranium in the strawberry bed ( those guys did yeoman service this season without asking much beyond some compost and water...i saw absolutely no leaf damage from japanese beetles this year...research calls them a "trap crop" but my experience is they are more of a repellant )...some yellow broccoli flowers...the hopi blue probably isn't getting any bluer...and a freshly weeded strawberry bed.
