Our garden is beautiful like a land

Green grass flower smell fresh.  

The place garden is like in paradise.

The red romaine lettuce is happy

Like a baby smile.

The cabbage feels sad like a flower

We did not water.

Our plant grows tall like a tree.

Our plant collaborates to grow all together.

The sun rise to the garden,

And the garden rise up and sing a song.

Turnip and rutabaga almost the same

Make me almost can not distinguish it.

Arugula spicy like hot pepper,

 And bitter like pill medicine. 

Rutabaga big just is ball
