In reply to Elizabeth. Elizabeth, I don't think you will be able to find seed potatoes easily in fall. You could try organic potatoes. Let me know how it goes.

What if I want to grow late fall into the winter in a small balcony greenhouse? I’m thinking start late Sept? Would I be able to get seed potatoes that late or would I use organic potatoes from the market?

We Mainers may be at a disadvantage when it comes to many crops, but we were born to grow potatoes! Thanks for sharing on Green Thumb Thursday.

In reply to daphnegould. Daphne, I did the mail order route the first year and it was expensive. The second year, I ordered locally from Pinetree seeds and was able to pick them up and save on shipping, but these were still more expensive then my local farm and feed store. I was tempted to buy some for eating too.

In reply to Margaret. Margaret, you should give potatoes a try. Later in the week, I will be posting different ways they can be planted shared by some of my blogging friends.
