Giant Heirloom Tomatoes and Malabar Spinach Thriving at Urban Roots

The two raised beds in the nursery yard, planted by the WASH project, are drawing attention with their massive ripening tomatoes. These are Buffalo Giant Heart tomatoes, a rare Polish heirloom variety from our spring program—with a name like "Buffalo Heart," we simply had to grow them.

An abundance of small, pear-shaped tomatoes are also beginning to ripen.

A vigorous Malabar spinach vine twines around fence posts and bike tires, adding a unique vertical element. Have you tried growing or eating any of these vegetables? We'd love to hear your thoughts.
