Potatoes are also really easy to grow. If you ever forget about your potatoes and they sprout or you leave them in the sun and they get green, you can put them in a pot and grow fresh potatoes.

Fava beans are also extremely easy to grow.

"Fava beans are also extremely easy to grow"

They also pair nicely with liver and a nice chianti.

Potatoes grow well in shade. Fava beans can grow in containers just fine, but may need a balcony. I would also get a short variety. A lot of things can grow in a window sill.

There's also guerilla gardening, where you plant on an abandoned plot. Potatoes are great for this because they'll basically grow on their own as long as they aren't overtaken by blackberries.
