No these are just seed pods. Don't worry. :) Don't eat them though, they're poisonous.

It's potato seed pods, they're the same family as tomatoes, so fuits look similar.

The seed companies use these to produce new varieties, but not really something that home gardeners to bother with.

If you have small children, who may eat them, then remove them as their poisonous - otherwise you might as well just leave them be.

snap  :lol:
