Notes
'Caribou Russet' potatoes (Solanum tuberosum 'Caribou Russet') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is grown as a superior baking potato for the North. It is not a favorite of rabbits, though hungry rabbits will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Corinto cucumber, Dukat dill, and Alpha calendula.
