Is there anything better than picking your dinner???

OK, I know I'm like a little kid seeing a big balloon for first time, and while I've gardened, I'm very much a late bloomer, but I just can't get over how cool it is to go outside to my back yard to get dinner. It's amazing! Tonight I couldn't decide between a salad of mizuna and lettuce or a nice gently cooked swiss chard. In any case, I have some green beans that are really almost done. I also have a nice variety of tomatoes to throw in. And I have tons of herbs still--basil and cilantro and sorrel.



Honestly, what could be better than this? I many of you are true gardeners, horticulturists and farmers and may take this all for granted, but I just am in awe.



Anyone want to wax poetic on the joy of picking your dinner?
