A potato/tomato plant - how good is that? It's a tomato plant grafted onto a potato plant (unless today is 1st April). Not the other way round, that would be pretty pointless. It does, of course, bring us to the old 'is the tomato a vegetable or fruit?' question, and this would seem to indicate it's a vegetable if I make the bold assumption that grafting a fruit to a vegetable would be more difficult. However, it has made me think of other good combinations which can take advantage of a root crop and a non-root crop (don't know what a non-root crop is called - 'air crop'?). What about carrots and peas? We often cook and serve these together, so that would seem ideal. Or swede and peppers? Save on peppering the swede.
The world marathon record was broken at the weekend - down to 2hrs 3mins 23secs. I hope I live to see it go down to 2hrs, now that would be something special, akin to the 4 minutes mile etc.
