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.
