Spanish term or phrase: vengo de (recoger) verdura
No tengo más contexto, es parte de la letra de una canción, originalmente en gallego: "veño da verdura", aludiendo a una persona que viene de recoger verdura y repollo a las primeras horas de la mañana.

Agradezco cualquier sugerencia.

(I'm) back with the pick of the garden


Explanation:
As anything else woulde soooo long (or prosaic) in English, this might work if the text when on to enumerate what was picked. I can imagine "I'm back with greens from the garden" but not all vegetables are green. This is difficult!
