I,M not sure what you are asking Dave. Do you mean planting potatoes for
digging in the Winter? If so yes. On the other hand beds where I have
had potatoes the previous year drive me up the wall, as there are always
some left that come up like weeds. The problem with planting in Autumn
for the following year is that the frosts we normally get in April and
even May (I have known one on June 6th here in North Staffordshire) will
kill the new growth. It will re-grow but no earlier than planting normally

I've never planted in the autumn. But the problem I have now are some
taties I have forgotten from last year and now a few are growing
amonst my peas and broad beans!!!!! There's nothing I can do than just
cut off as deep as I can. I just can't dig. It's the first time that
happened to me - I think I must have been blind when I digged out our
crop!
