Susan Burke’s home and garden on the Nantucket shoreline off the coast of Massachusetts were designed from scratch when she and her late husband first purchased the property. Featuring tall borders of naturalistic plantings and hardscaping that weave off into nature in the backyard, this space also has a more formal garden in the front yard consisting mostly of native plants. A large dune comes up from the beach, where a buffer of native flora divides the garden from the beach beyond.
7 Fruits That Grow Underground

These underground fruits are unique because they develop beneath the soil’s surface, often due to specialized adaptations by the plants that produce them.
This list has different kinds of “fruits” (with hint of sweetness) like tubers and roots.
Botanical Name: Ipomoea batatas
Sweet potatoes are starchy roots that are often used in dishes like sweet potato pie. To grow them, use well draining soil and make sure the plant gets full sunlight for at least 6 hours.
To grow them in pots, choose a deep container (16-18 inches) that will give the tubers enough room to develop fuller. Also, water regularly to keep the soil on a little moist side.
Botanical Name: Tuber spp.
Truffles are a type of fungus that grows symbiotically with the roots of certain trees, such as oak, hazel and beech. These need a specific conditions to grow, so it can be super tough to cultivate them in the garden.
Botanical Name: Pachyrhizus tuberosus
Also known by the names of Mexican turnip or jicama, this tuberous root is commonly consumed because of its crisp and juicy texture.
The plant grows well in warm climates and needs well draining soil. For cooler regions, you can cultivate them in pots and bring indoors during cold weather.
Botanical Name: Helianthus tuberosus
Jerusalem artichokes have a crisp-nutty flavor with hints of sweetness. They need at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight every day. To start them in the garden, plant tubers in early spring, and maintain a distance of 14-16 inches between them.
For container growing, go for 16-18 inches deep and wide pots.
Botanical Name: Cyperus esculentus
Often known as earth almonds, tiger nuts are small and sweet tubers that have a nutty flavor similar to potatoes.
These grow best in warm regions. Go for well
