On vegetable gardens and a little spring salad

The flowers have bloomed on fava bean plants.
Rocket, has already made its way to dishes and plates.
There has been omelets flavoured with herbs,
and fresh pesto filling my jars.

 
It's certainly a great feeling to know what's in my plate,
and with the outmost respect, I harvest my veg.
I cook them with grace and display them like jewels.

 
Even a small urban garden gives more that it takes!
