can any please tell me what the green tomato like things are on my potatoes plants growing in pots are




Answers

 

They are the fruits of the potato and are poisonous they look like tomatoes as both potatoes and tomatoes are from the genus solanum. Make sure when you are harvesting the potatoes not to let the fruits end up in the soil or you will have volunteer potatoes. If you can remove them now and dispose of in your wheelie bin.
