Some bees are sucking nectar from the chrysanthemum flowers.

I have never seen them before.

Autumn Color of Lilac in our Garden

This is the Autumn Color of Lilac.

The sun is too bright.

I love such a morning scenery.

A goal of next year 2009 (２００９年の目標)

This is today's harvest, it takes more one month to berry from the flower.

The yield of strawberry was 15.8kg in this year.
It was less than one third of the goal 50kg.

I will try to do the same yield again on the next year.

So I changed my mind the bed was for strawberry instead of potatoes.

You can see only strawberries at the field.
But 50kg, it must be big goal.
