potato fruit

i got an email from jesse at the potato introduction station i response to an email i sent him about the potato fruits on the early blue on campus...his response included a link to a page that explained the seed extraction process and in that document i discovered that green potato fruits will ripen and the seed will mature if they are put in bags for four to six weeks...i have no clue about what sort of predation potato fruit might encounter since they are an utterly new experience for me...so to hedge my bets i went out to campus after work and picked two of the eight fruits out there ( top photo )and brought them home...i picked some ripe cherry tomatoes out in the yard earlier and put one next to a potato fruit as a gauge of size and as a morphological comparison of cousins ( second photo )...took a bunch of photos of the two together and then put each in its own paper bag to await results..somewhere between october thirteenth and twenty-seventh...the extraction process is a corker involving cheesecloth and a blender...to say that i am geeked is an understatement...another project for winter? early blue form seed under the lights? this could be interesting come february or march...seed potatoes form seed...geeked doesn't do it justice.
