: Yes, that's it, the person has been picking vegetables and (conical, perhaps savoy', cabbages.Col generally refers to 'white' cabbage in U.K English (really, light green, round ones)

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

: That could imply flowers as well, whereas this is obviously hortalizas !
