Our seed potatoes here will be planted this weekend or next weekend. Potatoes have a long season to mature, they will be fine.

I planted mine a few weeks ago in a bin. I thought for sure they had rotted with all the rain we've had, but just yesterday I checked and they are sprouting just fine. I moved the bin under the eave in a nice sunny spot so they will dry out a bit and I am now optimistic.

Ours were planted today. The soil was nicely workable.

I'm in Seattle, and my soil is a little acidic. I have a heck of a time growing some veggies... like carrots that grow 6 foot tall but there's almost no carrot for the root... or radishes that do the same thing. But for some reason potatoes grow like weeds! I literally pull them out like weeds because they take over. I've even grown the potatoes above ground in stacks of loose hay... but they tend to get attacked by slugs above ground. My point is, you should be able to grow potatoes in almost any soil conditions... or even with no soil at all.

We emptied a compost box today and found that last year's potatoes were growing in it and some of the potatoes were over 3 inches in diameter! They tasted great. The compost finished and it had a lid on it over the winter.
