Great article. Just to throw in some personal experience, when I was 
house-sitting for my daughter a couple of years ago (in her second 
floor apartment), I had enough tomatoes, peppers, lettuce and squash 
growing on her 4 x 6 foot balcony to provide fresh produce all summer 
long for three people. We were lucky that the balcony faced 
southeast, but even with a less ideal exposure we could have grown 
lettuce and other greens. Stuff wants to grow. Given even a minimally 
adequate environment, it's hard not to grow food.
