Notes
'Long Island Cheese' potato (Solanum tuberosum 'Long Island Cheese') is a vegetable for food gardens 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. Rabbits tend to pass it by. Bees visit the flowers, and the plant also tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Dukat dill, Gimlet cucumber, and Santo cilantro.
