Potato fruit

[chefgage]

I went and had a look at my potato plants last night to check on the flower situation, on one of them appeared to be tomatoes growing! I had a quick google and it turns out to be potato fruit. Never seem that before so was quite suprised.

Is this quite a common thing? Any one else get this happening?

Yes, inside there are the seeds that could grow potatoes next year...

Had a lot of these last year, none this....maybe because cos I'm growing a different variety?
Kestrel last year - Charlottes and Desiree this.

It seems to be just on one plant, got a few different varieties growing and as usual I carnt remember which is
is which A bit like all my chilli plants!

What usually happens is I repot them and forget to put the labels back in (the chillies that is, not the potato's )

Recommendation is to remove the berries I believe. Grew Maris Piper last year and there were loads of berries, then the blight got 'em so hacked the haulms down anyway. Doing Maris Pipers again this year, so will be removing berries as they appear. Poisonous though I believe, so wash your hands after handling them.
