Potatoes in a can?

摘要

NO MATTER WHAT TYPE of gardener you are—be it vegetable, ornamental, or both— the space you have to grow your plants often dictates your choices. So as a gardener whose "garden" is actually a collection of containers on a 8-foot-long and 5-foot-widebalcony off of a second-floor apartment, I get my seed catalogs and often have to thumb heartbreakingly past my all-time-favorite edible: the potato. The potato has it all: It's easy to grow; requires little maintenance; and even produces beautiful, star-shaped flowers. It also yields an abundance of edible tubers that can be mashed, baked, scalloped, or fried, according to your taste.
