Last week I noticed a small plant in my garden that looked like a potato plant. Since I have 25 potato plants in my garden, I figured that it was an anemic or miniature potato.
A few days later I noticed that it was growing berries. HUH?
I know potatoes don't grow like berries, but I thought it was some really weird potato plant and I left it alone.
A little later still, I came across something on the internet (shocker huh?) about nightshade. I nearly did a double take - it looked EXACTLY like my anemic potato plant!
Now tell me, doesn't this look almost the same??
Potato
Nightshade
As I did further research, I found that potatoes are in the same family as Nightshade! So are peppers and tomatoes! After reading this, I ran out to the garden and looked at my tomatoes and peppers. Sure enough, the flowers are all VERY similar!
Who knew?!
