i wouldn't know crap from christmas when it comes to potatoes, but i read
somewhere that potato plants will very, very occasionally make fruits.
It's not *that* uncommon!
yes it is - it only happens to particularly special, worthy people upon whom
mother nature smiles.... g.
Not true. Happens for us good-for-nothing unworthies, too.
this topic seems never mentioned in garden info, so i guess it might be a
trait of some potato kinds under some circumstances, or something.
Peter Cundall answered all of these questions for you last Fri/Sun. He
said the seed pod is poisonous; either cut it off (I guess the plant
expends some energy into growing it) or leave it to get composted when
the plant expires.
