Not even in a greenhouse? Oh well. I just reminded myself in the
dandelion post that the roots make a good coffee substitute(I've
actually tried it), and I know those can grow pretty much anywhere in
the continental US. :-)



Chickory root is supposed to be a good coffee substitute but I've never
tried it.

Not a substitute, an additive to make coffee go longer.
