truck bed update

the bean and the chamomile in the bed of my truck have long since finished the season...the ten degree ( fahrenheit ) low we had earlier in the month saw to that...when i moved the layer of maple leaves that had fallen from the trees aside i found that the new york import strawberry i dug up and transplanted to the bed of my truck to keep the bean company eighty-six days ago has not been idle..and seems to be still in action...

the mother of them all is looking healthy...obviously enough sunlight has penetrated the leaf litter...

she has produced three daughters...including one that is fairly recent...

the two elder daughters have given her three granddaughters...

who have, in turn, begat two great granddaughters...

and thoes girls have each contributed a gret great granddaughter...one of which is just taking root this late in the season...bean and cham's descendants will hear stories of their forebearers next season from multiple sources...the populations grows...i knew it would...one wonders if there is enough room in the truck.
