A simple, realistic kitchen garden viewed at garden level: several neat raised garden boxes filled with dark rich soil and a plain brown mulch path between them. The boxes contain clearly visible garlic, onions, spinach, bell peppers, tomato plants, green beans, eggplant, and summer squash, with only a few modest flowers at the edges. Natural daylight, authentic backyard garden, understated and practical, no people, no buildings, no text, photorealistic, calm rural homestead feeling.
