I'm confused. I've read that potatoes here in NC Florida (I'm between Ocala and Gainesville) should be planted in February/March so that they are harvested before the big heat of summer. However, I'm also told they should have been planted in November and be finishing now. If I had done that, they might have been ruined by the freeze. I've also read to plant short season varieties, like Yukon Gold, but I haven't found any seed locally. There is also a new, low carb FL potato called SunLite, still, no seed found... Most online sources do not ship until early March. Is that too late?
One local feed store has Red Pontiac and Red LaSoda (which one site indicates are the same potato, so why are they labelled differently?)
I'd appreciate any advice. I really, really want to grow my own potatoes. Those in the stores are such poor quality...
I'm amazed at how different gardening is here.
Thank you in advance.
Oh, if there is already a thread about this, please let me know. I didn't find one...
