Actually you could do that with a tomato plant as well.
The only spot that gets direct sun is on the north side of the property, and only after noon. There is an area near my AC unit with a pre-existing garden bed that is currently overgrown with elephant ears. I'll have to get rid of the elephant ears (nearly impossible - they just grow back no matter what you do) and also redirect the drain from the AC unit as it currently floods that garden bed. I did think about putting them there.
A better spot would be to turn the middle of that yard area into a proper garden. I have to get rid of a huge tree stump first. I had to cut down a giant probably 200+ year old tree that died. The stump is several feet wide... like nearly 5 feet wide. Then we'll need to get all the roots out....
You think they will grow inside the house in pots? I do have some window sills. I might consider adding some flower boxes below the windows as well.
