eye-opener, indeed!

more likely a signature that all is well rather than an indication of significant trouble worth devoting any time worrying over.

The purple plant looks like it could be some sort of Amaranthus.

The big green weed near the strawberries might be a thorn apple (Datura stramonium). (In the US I might also take a close look at horsenettle, Solanum carolinense). Either way, a potentially large and poisonous weed in the Nightshade family.

The large grub might be the larva of a predatory beetle. It doesn't look like any of the obnoxious beetle grubs I'm familiar with.

The flowering tree looks like a showy cultivar of the black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) which is marketed under the name "Purple Robe locust."

I was wondering if it was Orach, aka mountain spinach. It's been some time since I've grown it so will defer to others on ID.
