Potato 'pods'
« on: August 03, 2010, 17:05 »
 :)Hi - We've found some 'pea-pods' co-exisiting alongside the flowers on our potatoes on our allotment. Can anyone enlighten us as to what they are? Are they, in fact, seed-pods or some such like which we can plant in the future? Please pardon our ignorance as this is our first time as allotmenteers and we would benefit from anyone's input. Thanks Ady & Carole Ann

Welcome to the site  :D

If they look a little like baby tomatoes, they are seed pods from which new varieties may be attempted.  They are also poisonous so DO NOT EAT THEM.

There have been quite a few posts about this over the last few weeks so you may well locate them through the search facility if you want more info.

I'll move this over to the Grow Your Own forum as it's about GYO; feel free to pop back and tell us all about your lotty (and yourselves!)  :D
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

This should help, from the stickies forum:

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
