Notes
Ketchup n Fries nightshade (Solanum 'Ketchup 'n Fries') is a vegetable for the food garden. 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. This hand-grafted plant gives you cherry tomatoes for snacking, salads, and sauces, plus potatoes below ground for roasting, boiling, mashing, and fries. Bury the graft and the tomato stem deeply, and harvest the potatoes in fall.
Pairs well with Habanero habanero pepper, Lemon basil, and Delicata squash.
