My Planter boxes went from looking like coffins, according to my mom-in-law, to having cute little flower peeking up over their edges, to completely OUT OF CONTROL. I had to remove the potato plants from one of the boxes. The other box, I just sacrificed the flowers. The potato plants turned out to be quite pretty. They did however take over the back porch. I actually had a dream one night that they had grown over the house and I had to cut them away from the front door to get in. Brian did weed-whack them back some because we were afraid there may be snakes hiding in all the foliage. They grew up the power pole, all the way over to the hot tub and up under the porch.
