I'm waiting for mine. Dave says to wait until after they bloom so I'm being patient. I planted "Beauregard".

I want to try to grow some myself next year, also some of those delish little red new potatoes. I dont even know if both kinds grow at the same time or if they have different seasons. Ive tried to give up white russet potatoes. Very hard.

Pam, you can grow 'regular' potatoes through the winter and harvest them in the spring. You might have to protect the foliage if you get cold temps, but just an old sheet or cardboard box will do it.

The sweet potatoes need warmth, so you could even plant them after you harvest your other potatoes, in the spring after danger of frost, so mid-March where you are?
