Potatoe flower?.

Amongst others the tomato and pepper plants belong to the Nightshade family.

Growing potatoes, onions, carrots, spring onions, chillies, mint, chives,Thyme,parsley,lemon balm, strawberries and alpine strawberries.....and a curry plant!.Granted the potatoes etc are on a small scale (9 or 10 plants) but every little helps.To be fair my other half does most of it, but I weed and water etc.Also got some tubs with salad leaves growing and we had a good crop of Radishes :good:
