Your season is amazingly different from ours! I don't think the potatoes will be ready for another couple of months! Sometimes I've seen sacks for sale by Labor Day.

 

Don't you get any of the new-potato varieties there before then, @Smithy? We are an in-between climate season here (I think) but we get the new Warba potatoes in late May or so. And others later in the summer. 

 

What type of potatoes do you grow @Shelby?

It's soooo much hotter here.  Actually I didn't get my potatoes from Burpee as soon as I should have.  They ship when THEY think it's time to plant.  It's about 2-3 weeks too late IMO.  I used to plant right around St. Pat's Day.  I didn't get my order until the end of March and really, this year, I would have planted the first week of March.

Actually, you're right: we get new-potato types here too. Offhand I can't think of the varieties. I was thinking of the large varieties -- russets and so on -- when I talked about not getting them until later.
