Harvested 8 kg potatoes from my 1 diameter round raised bed yesterday.wasn’t expecting that much. Still no rain until Monday. The tomato plants live in large pots and their leaves are yellow. A few tomatoes on them. Next year they will go into larger beds again.

Interesting science story I heard about tomatoes and potatoes. Based on some genetic work, they now think the plant we know as a "potato" began as a cross between tomatoes and a wild relative of the potato (tomatoes and potatoes are related). It was a natural hybridization occuring long before humans came along (8-9 million years) in South America.
Tomatoes randomly mated with another plant 9 million years ago. The result? Potatoes.
Researchers say they have finally uncovered the mysterious origins of one of our favorite carbs: the humble potato.
