After waiting for local authorities to fix a massive pothole for several months, residents of Poplar Plain Crescent, in Toronto, decided to make the best of it by transforming the hole into a community tomato garden.
It’s unclear who came up with the idea of plating tomato seeds into the neglected pothole earlier this summer, but as the plants sprouted and flourished, neighborhood residents started caring for them, even installing stakes to keep them from falling over. Photos of the fully grown tomato plants featuring dozens of juicy green tomatoes are a testament to both the locals care and sense of humour, but also of the indifference of local authorities.
