Today I decided to post an update on my favorite grafting experiment. Over the past few weeks it had grown a lot taller and developed many fruits, tomatoes as well as black nightshade berries.
The pictures:
1st: whole plant, located on the left side are three of the four tomato stems, on the right side is the remaining one as well as a branch of black nightshade.
2nd: focus on the lower part, it's a little messy, since the black nightshade keeps growing back. Also, lots of tomatoes.
3rd to 6th: focus on the graft union of each stem.
In conclusion, I believe this experiment is a big success. I might do the same thing again next year, maybe in a larger pot.

Interesting, and I know that tomatoes and nightshades are in the same family, but it *feels* wrong. Nightshades are called ‘deadly’ (not what you used I know) for a reason.
Hey, with that in mind, I wonder if you could graft tomatoes to a potato and get double crops….
Thanks for sharing!
