The TomTato Plant.... A Wierd Library Post

     Today one of my teachers told me about new plant that produces both tomatoes and potatoes. But the curiosity soon passed and I went on with my day. When I get home I decided to get one of my bog posts done so I get on the website Big Think http://bigthink.com and as I'm going through the articals i come across the plant that sparked my intrest several hours before the tomtato (http://bigthink.com/ideafeed/tomatoes-or-potatoes-this-plant-lets-you-have-both). This plant was developed in UK after ten years of research and testing. The tomtato was created with a process called grafting with is when you combine to plants by putting them in the same pot or in a very close proximity to each other and taping two clean cut edges of the plants together so they grow into one. Past grafing projects such as this have had problems with the taste of the product, the Royal Horticultural Society hopes that the problem has been fixed with the tomtato.
