I'm not sure when to plant potatoes here either, I live in Central FL and I think I'm going to try to plant mine in a week or so. I haven't found any guides that tell when to plant potatoes here other than sweet potatoes. I got my "seed" by going to a local healthfood store and buying a couple potatoes. They aren't supposed to be sprayed with any growth retardant, and in fact were starting to sprout. It's definitely experimental!

Thanks for the tip on getting potatoes at the health food store, I'll try that as well. I know not to buy nonorganic ones and there isn't a "real" farmer's market around here, what they call the farmer's market sells the same stuff as the grocery stores. Makes me crazy. But next time I'm in a larger town where I know they have one I'll go to the health food store.
