In the spring after the historical frost free date in your local. If you plant too early the possibility of frost freezing the emerged plant is a gamble -- if there are no more frosts -- then you win. If there is -- then you lose and must begin over again. It is a better bet to wait until the average soil temp reaches 55 degrees in your local. And how deep is one to measure the temp? Well -- only as deep as the potato eye is to be planted -- say, 2 inches.
Do you know?
The Norwegian municipality of Ãstre Toten has a potato plant in its coat-of-arms; and the potato originated in Peru.
