That's the issue: I have different kinds of tomato plants in my garden and they all smell slightly different. The potato plants as well as the suspected tomato plant smell similar. In that row i had planted Peruvian purple potatoes…Tomatoes have a very particular, almost basil-y smell to them if you crush a leaf. Potatoes do not. I can't apply that test from here, but that looks very much like a tomato plant to me.
I don't know if seeds can survive a duck's digestive system, but it makes sense that they can—fruits are most plants' way of spreading seed via birds.
Look at the leaves on the two plants.Great! Thank you very much for sharing! - So if the fruits turn red, they are tomatoes if they stay green i have potato seeds and can develop my own variety of potatoes, i will call them the Frankenstein potato!
Absolutely possible. My ducks are meal-worm and tomato addicted!Could seeds have been in the first tilling of duck stuff?
Tomato for plant one.
Plant two looks like a potato.
One year I had a gigantic pumpkin plant growing.....likely from the chicken run cleaning being tilled in. It was ginormous.
My ducks are better in gardening than i am!!!

I love tomatos! Unfortunately i can't eat them raw. :-(Beautiful gorgeous plum tomatoes it appears, but id have to see thrm ripe to be sure . Definitely tomatoes! Hope you like salsa
Co - rrect! - But leaves of the different tomato breeds i have (yellow, red, cocktail, ...) are also looking different. And they all look somewhat similar, the potatoes included. Maybe Totato plant? Or Pomato?Look at the leaves on the two plants.
They are very different correct?

We must raise different sorts of potatoes, then, because my fingerlings, Utahs, and browns all smell slightly musty and completely un-tomato-like. But I've never raised any potatoes but those; certainly not peruvian whatsits (most varieties don't do well in our wet weather. Fingerlings do the best in wet years, if you want to try again.)That's the issue: I have different kinds of tomato plants in my garden and they all smell slightly different.

Well i guess i wait if they turn red or yellow and have my evil neighbor try one then.![]()
That's a very good hint! Thank you very much! I have very heavy loamy soil here and the whole hill-site is a sponge due to some underground springs. I definitely will try fingerlings next year!We must raise different sorts of potatoes, then, because my fingerlings, Utahs, and browns all smell slightly musty and completely un-tomato-like.
