Above ground the springtime vegetable garden
Sprouts with verdant green growth
Leaves smooth, jagged, curled, and plain
Wear their choice costumes in bright sunlight
Sing in the rain
Dance in moonlight
Sway on springtime breezes
To tunes composed by weather gods
Calling to business
Mature foodstuff
Fresh - crisp - sweet smelling - table ready goodness
Rewards for patient
Home gardeners
Try as I might my attempts never equal those of our fruiterer.
