Cultivated and delicious ? Leaves of this plant are typically known as callalloo and used in Carribbean, African and Indian dishes, similar to spinach- usually cooked down with spices. The seeds are known as grains are extemely versatile- they can be used in stews and soups, popped like popcorn, ground into flour for baking...or just let them continue dropping to the ground and weeding it out 😂 Anyways, these guys are starting to shade my intentional crops so offering them up for - send us a DM if you want some, pickup in NE DC!

I got my out in 🍑🍑🍑 Almost time to start harvesting 😋 Pretty high likelihood we'll have peaches in this week's , and you can also come get some at the Monthly Maker's Market this Sunday at . We do have one peach tree available as well, but you're definitely going to need a pickup truck as she's a big one! If she doesn't sell by July 4th, we'll permanently plant her in one of our gardens so we can stop watering it so often 😂😂😂

Let's kick-off the of (fruit) 😍 Picked up some garden fresh Florida mangoes 🥭🥭🥭 on my last roadtrip and looks like we are going to have a summer filled with grown right here in 😋 Combined the two to make my favorite dessert!
We have a few large 3 gallon climbing pots of Purple Possum Passionfruit available still if you want to try your hand at growing some, but remember these are tropical plants. You'll have to bring these in every winter (but they also make great houseplants and easy to propagate).

Last 3 pics are some happy fruits we saw growing in FL! 👉🏾👉🏾👉🏾
