A few years ago when I knew even less than I do now, I read that they were in the same family. I had seen people grafting trees so I did an experiment:
I grafted a tomato shoot onto a potato shoot and waited for the spuds in the ground and tomatoes on top.
Guess what happened

It got potato blight and then died ?

Or you eat the little fruits that a potato makes and you was ill for a week..

Guess what happened  

Can I guess again?   You planted it upside down and got subterranean tomatoes underneath green potatoes?

You got a fantastic lush plant that produced neither spuds nor toms just leaves.

A single potato?  What did it taste like?  (Did you dare try it?)

Were the toms spud coloured?

Good one!
