THank you.
I gave up growing potatoes because it seemed to magnify my tomato foliage diseases. Never had any disease issues with the potatoes. Hope that is is not the case for you, but you might keep a lookout for increases. I grew them both enough years here (Midwest) to believe there was a relationship, but other areas and greater distances between the plants may make a big difference in the results.

I'd be curious what other tomato/potato growers have seen.
