Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Hailing from steamy Louisiana where not all potatoes grow well, La Soda is a delicious red spud perfect for boiling or roasting. High yielding in cold or warm regions of the country, this potato is ready to harvest midseason. La Soda stores better than other red varieties, assuming all aren't gobbled up shortly after harvesting. Pretty pink skins make for an attractive table presentation. Why Grow Potatoes? For the superior, freshly harvested flavor! Grow varieties that aren't available at the market Choose size, color and use varieties tailored to your favorite recipes Host a fall potato tasting party in your backyard with homegrown potatoes, herb butters, garlic drizzles and tangy sour cream Potatoes can be grown in the garden, in tubs, half whiskey barrels, horticultural fabric bags and other large containers - use your imagination!
