1. Potatos are close relatives of tomatos.

If you have limited space you can plant them in the same hill.

Use a whole potato. Scoop a hole in the potato the size of the tomato plant's root ball. Set the tomato into the hole and plant the entire thing in a hill.

Make sure to water and keep well-nourished. You will get potatos in the ground and tomatos on the top.

Then you don't have to find a use for the potato fruits.

We've also seen the fruits on our potatoes, but so far haven't tried working with them. Ruby Reason Jul 2012 #4
