My toms will probably be at minimum 12 feet from my potatoes. Is this too near as I believe they are poisonous if they cross-pollinate?

Hi Paulines7,I've grown Tigerella but not outside so I can only comment on them generally. I grew them for the stripe effect of course which is interesting but apart from that they are neither heavy croppers or particularly flavoursome. Worth it for the novelty but thats all. :)
..........I put a big piece of glass at the west side ( protect them from cold sea wind) and a cover against the rain.
