I dont know for sure I just read someplace about how after the soil got up to 70 degrees the plant would stop producing potatoes.

They do sell the seed potatoes here though.

One year I grew some on a whim in a 5 gallon bucket.
Everyone made fun of me and no one took care of the plant but me.
I had just enough potatoes for me with some green beans.
All of the mooches showed up and I ran them off.

Remember the story of the little red hen.
