    Potato plants will need soil temperature of at least 45 degrees F. The soil should be moist, but not water-logged. Potatoes can tolerate a light frost, but you should provide some frost protection for the plants if you know that a hard, late season freeze is coming. If you want to extend storage times, and have a long growing season, you can plant a second crop as late as June 15 and harvest the potatoes as late as possible.

    Otherwise, grow them in buckets in doors.

  • You didn't mention when to plant them what month you recommend to plant them in the east USA-NJ?

  • Great video I want to know if potatoes will grow in Puerto Rico west side of the island? How much water does it need?
