You can plant potatoes up untill Feb, depending on what part of the country yr in. They take approx 3 months, although some here in the past have said they were ready in 5 weeks, which i find total bollocks.
Frost is your enemy,as they will kill off the tops over night.
Dont forget to water often once they are growing, otherwise with the hot days of summer[yeah right] you end up with dry horrible spuds.
