noticed today that my main crop spuds have started growing tomatoe like balls from side shoots? i opened one and it was full of seeds. i didnt know that taters grew fruit!
is this significant to the harvesting time of my crop?

thanx pesky wabbit
No, but you can grow the seeds on and develop a new variety if you want!
But it takes years...
They are very poisonous, just in case anybody didn't know... :-X
We call them Tatie Apples, is it best to pull them off?
It doesn't really matter... :)
just leave them be.
There is belief in some quarters that removing flowers from potatoes increases the crop....dont know if thats true or not...but if you do remove the flowers,you wont get "Tatie Apples"
