Too late to plant potatoes?

15 years ago

I still have 10 lb of seed potato (Yukon Gold and Russian Banana fingerling) that I haven't found the time to plant. If I planted them this weekend, will they mature in time? They're supposed to be 100 day, so they should be ready to dig by early October.

Should I try, or just throw them and put in something else that will grow faster?

This is a little late for a response, but I'd go ahead and plant them. Perhaps you have already. Good luck. Gary

I hope you planted them, the last several years we've had late frosts.
