Planting Potatoes in Jan/Feb
 

Hi all,

I have a few questions relating to planting potatoes at this time of
year, which I have read in several sources is quite OK in Melbourne
(where I am) and I just wondered if anyone here has done this...

I'm having real problems trying to get seed potatoes at this time of
year. Most people have them from May onwards - does anyone know a
source?

Has anyone planted say, nice organic spuds from the market? What are
the risks here (obviously disease, but how much risk?)

Are there specific varieties that are better grown as a Summer/Autumn
crop?

thanks in advance
