Freddie Langone, an at-large Boston City Councilor (of the Langone Funeral Home), who hailed from the North End, used to grow tomatoes on the balcony outside one of the council's hearing rooms. He would serve lunch most Fridays, along with home-made wine. Grow local, hire local, bury local, that was Freddie's philosophy.

Even if it's just the squirrel who stashed a bit of potato there a couple seasons ago.

Btw, I think the gardeners should have left them. Potato plants are actually quite lovely when they bloom.

Also, fwiw, if they were not just placed there earlier this year (ie are from previous years growth), then they almost certainly have not found them all - a healthy potato plant will produce as many as a couple dozen spuds each season.
