some notes on the truck bed

late september finds the truck garden doing fine...bean and chamomile are booming along...

and the entire strawberry tableau speaks of fecundity...

mom is robust and expanding her leaf count...

and with such a a healthy and active mom it comes as no surprise that her first daughter has sprouted a second stolon...her first was getting perilously close to the side of the bed where it might suffer from shade and being too exposed to cold come winter...

so i fashioned a pin from a twig and turned the daughter to be back towards her grandma to be in a more centrally located position...

daughter number two ( someone else is going to have to give them names...keeping track would eventually prove complex..i am not up for it ) has jumped into the reproductive game as well...her stolon has a curious upward tilt...i see a pin soon enough...the colony is not hesitating to expand...the spilled compost in the bed of my truck has not lost its ginger.
