Have crammed our small back garden in Nottingham full of shrubs and perennials. This year we've replaced a couch grass infested front garden. Phew.

They're not tomatoes, although they are growing next to my toms. They're poisonous apparently (I googled it).

But you're right, Kathy, tomato and potato combos do exist, although I've heard they don't produce much of a crop.

I had them on my potatoes apparantly it's due to the high temperature and humidity and yes very poisonous 🌱☺
