Shade

Close up photo of a small key lime fruit on the tree, behind its leaves.

Freckled teenager
avoiding direct sunlight:
young lime on its tree.

Flowering peas

Photo of the flowers of sweet peas, climbing on a fence.

Aiming for the skies,
peppered along my garden:
purple drop, sweet peas.

Summer birth

Close up photo of broad beans growing on a plant, with the sun shining through the gaps in the plant.

Pregnant belly swells,
stretching out in the sunshine—
broad beans in labour.

Fresh

close up photo of an orange rose and rain droplets on its leaf.

A tear drop or two,
refreshes the mind and soul;
garden after rain.

Recipe for success

Close up photo of a bowl of dried peas, and empty pea pods along the edge of the bowl.

All we ever need,
are peace, love, and vegetables—
better if homegrown.
