Hi Sandy,
Thanks for your input. You know, I've been utilizing and following ATP's gardening guide for all my planting season and they haven't let me down yet!
I looked at the guide again today and it does state a Sept/Oct planting. I can't specifically recall where I read July for potatoes, but I put it on my calendar.... Now I'm second-guessing if I just mis-read the guide? LOL... Well, this I do know... I certainly won't mind NOT PLANTING in the brutal heat! I haven't done potatoes before, so I wasn't sure if the potato was just a slow grower? We dedicated a raised bed for potatoes and now I'm learning that potatoes need to be rotated and not planted in the same bed each year. Do you find this to be true with your potatoes, Sandy?
Thanks again!
