Notes
'Kennebec' potatoes (Solanum tuberosum 'Kennebec') are 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. Give it full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. This heirloom is ready to harvest in about 80 days. Its white flowers attract bees. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Bloody Butcher corn, Fern Leaf dill, and Flashback Mix calendula.
