Default Seed potatoes

Hi Ron. I am in USDA Zone 5 in the US and the gardeners here plant potatoes
on Good Friday. I don't think that has anything to do with how well the
potatoes will come out, just an easy way to remember when to stick them in
the ground. Have fun. Dwayne

Can anyone advise me when seed potatoes will become available. And when to
start planting them. Additionally I intend planting them in compost filled
dustbins, so should I fill 1/3 with compost and then mound the plants up
with additional compost as they grow untill I reach the top of the bins?
Thanks for any advice offered

Paddy
