    There are several tropical vegetables that are healthful and easy to grow in your home garden. On this episode of Fresh From the Garden, we'll plant two of them: tomatillos and Malabar spinach. We'll build a set of PVC trellises to grow two varieties of this vining spinach. You'll also learn about four colorful varieties of tomatillos and how to keep these quick-growing vegetables from taking over your garden. In the Homegrown Hint, we'll show you how to save tender vegetable plants by bringing them indoors for the winter.
