I had a volunteer potato in my garden this year so I just let it do its thing (Completely overshadowing all of my corn but oh well). It flowered and now suddenly there are… berries??? I’ve literally never seen these before, what are these?

You can make those grow into tomatoes or egg plants if you do a few hundred years of selective breeding.

You can graft tomatos & eggplants to potato rootstock, they take very readily, but it cuts production on both, and i wouldnt recommend a cherry tomato graft for hopefully obvious reasons.
