Plants for Cubicles?

Frank of Earth asks: "Our company recently moved to a new location and I was lucky enough to get a cube with a window. Now that I actually can benefit from sunshine, I thought it would be cool to grow something in a potted container. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a lot of information on growing plants in your cube. Most of the indoor plant growing topics I found are related to illegal types of plant growing you do in your closet. What types of plants make good cube plants with a geek flare? Rather than just growing a boring spider plant, I would like to grow something cool like a fruit or vegetable. If you've had experience growing something unique, please post your thoughts!" What kind of plant would you grow in your cubicle?

    /. accepted my story idea!

    Thankfully I didn't use any links to my homepage-- that would have been really stupid and costly [ignore the links in my signature!]

      Well, while you're at the computer, maybe you can head over to dictionary.com and find out the difference between 'flare' and 'flair'. What the hell is a "geek flare" anyways? Is that a device used by beautiful women to warn other beautiful women that you're in the neighborhood?

    And if it's grown enough, you can even feed her your lusers.

    Get a potato plant, take care of it meticulously, even coming in during the weekends to water it, only to have it die when it's almost full-grown!
