My perennial-ized, overwintered potatoes now have shoots about an inch long, so the soil is warm enough for them to sprout. It will still take them a good month to emerge, by then the odds of a damaging freeze are smaller.

I'm going to plant most of my regular potatoes this weekend, weather and time permitting. Those will also take a good 4 weeks to emerge, unless the weather has a big warm up again, which isn't predicted.
