I planted some in tires on March 1st (new mexico)
 
Others here planted in ground mid-Feb.
 
I planted in rows in the garden 1st week of March.
 
In tires, they are coming up well,,,, even with a number of nights dropping 
below 32 ---- but they get lots of heat from tires, and they are well mulched.
 
No sign of 'taters in the garden yet, but I'm thinking any time now.

People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, 
and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome. 
Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder 
respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” ~ George

I bought my seed potatoes yesterday (Yukon Gold). Some things I read say to 
chit them and plant them "as soon as the ground can be worked", but
others 
say that they are sensitive to frost once they are growing. I usually can't

get the bed ready until near the last frost anyway (it's usuallly too cold 
and wet here to work the soil until May), but this year, with this 
phenomonally nice weather, the bed is prepared already, but we could have 
frost for another 2 months.

When do you all plant potatoes related to your last frost? And do you put 
them in hills or trenches? I'm thinking of planting early, but mulching
them 
so the frost won't hurt them.
