Notes

'Abominable' potato (Solanum tuberosum 'Abominable') is a vegetable for the food garden and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. Plan on 85 days to maturity, and bees visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Dukat dill, Redbor kale, and Santo cilantro.
