Yup.

But I’ll tell ya what - if you were to plant them now, I guarantee they would be coming out of the ground by mid April.

If not sooner.

They are a good cold weather crop. They are native to the Andes mountains in South America. In fact my potatoes always do really, really well in the spring and early summer but start to fade by the 4th of July or so.

Well, I'd have to dig through about 8 feet of now - and frozen ground - to plant the potatoes. So, I'll probably wait! ;)
