If you've got fruits it's probably time to dig up a root and see what they're like!

Not necessarily as Maris pipers are a main crop potato and need about 18 weeks from planting the seed potatoes to harvesting. We've got fruits on all our tatties and the main crop wont be ready for several weeks yet.

Hi Bizzie, this is perfectly normal both potatoes and tomatoes are part of the Solanum family. In the case of tomatoes you eat teh fruits. with potatoes you eat the swollen tubers and do not eat the fruits as they are poisonous.
