I've just been looking at my Druid potatoes and saw these strange green "fruits" apparently growing from a potato plant. Please can someone advise what on earth they are?! Thanks. Tom.

They are fruits of the potato. But don't eat them as they are poisonous.Last edited by Capsid; 27-07-2009, 10:15 PM. -
The Druids would have probably used them in a potion to meet there master and if you eat them you will probably meet your maker!

Potatoes are the same family as tomatoes, and the plants produce similar fruits from their flowers. As the others say, they are poisonous to eat, but they do produce potato seed in there. Usually they're just picked off and chucked away, but some Grapes have had a go at growing plants from the seeds. There's a thread at the top of Vegging Out board about it if you're interested.Comment
