Urban gardeners persevere amid vandalism in Baltimore
Retired ship rigger Tom Payne keeps a metal pipe handy as teens threaten his urban plot beside a graffiti wall and a train yard. He grows peppers, corn, squash, carrots, kale, eggplant, beans, and horseradish, part of a nationwide Urban Gardening Program that yielded 24 million in food in 1992. The program attracts older residents and continues despite thefts and intimidation.
