Potato Plants Growing "Tomatoes" Above Ground

Potatoes are tubers—only grow underground. Green "tomatoes" on branches = volunteer plant from compost seeds (tomato, pepper, squash). Not potatoes. Compost often sprouts volunteers. Remove the mystery plant; harvest real potatoes from roots.

Volunteer ID

Check leaf shape: potato leaves compound, tomato leaves serrated.
Flower color: potato white/pink, tomato yellow.
Compost = free surprise garden.
