Potatoes
We have something growing on our potato plants that look like potatoes. I dont think its fruit because they dont have seeds, arent growing in clusters, and they grow off the stock. These plants were grown from a store bought potato and planted in plastic tots.

How interesting - I am not sure what you have growing on your potato plants. Perhaps if you sent an image I could be of more help. It is best to use certified seed potatoes when growing a home garden. The potatoes you purchase in the grocery store may have been treated with an anti fungal agent or growth retardant to keep them from sprouting. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
