Tracy, unless you have your own seed potato source (or buy at the organic grocery and chit), when you plant may hinge on where you purchase your starters. I was looking at Burpee, and they have an April 10 ship date for potatoes. Gurneys is even worse, you can order in the fall and without any notice have your items show up in late spring. Late April is pushing the end of my plant date.
Last summer I saved two bags of onion sets to stagger thru the winter for indoor scallions. The sets looked dried up when I got my planter out last week but I had already opened the soiless mix. To my surprise they sprouted up yesterday.
I wonder who supplies merchandise this early for you southerners zone. I'd buy moreonion sets if I could get them now.
