When to plant potatoes in WV?

In West Virginia, the best time to plant potatoes is in early spring, around the last week of March to the first week of April. This allows the potatoes to grow and mature before the summer heat sets in. However, you can also plant potatoes in the fall, around the end of August to early September, for a harvest in the late fall or early winter. It is recommended to use disease-free seed potatoes that are certified and approved for your region to ensure a successful potato crop.
