1. After the danger of frost in your area has passed.
2. pull up a seed place find out what your planting Zone is and go from there In Mo potatoes should be in by St Patricks day
3. after danger of frost has passed, otherwise you will have to cover everything up any time there is a frost warning.
4. Check the seed package instructions and find out the last expected frost date in your area. If you want to get an earlier start you can use soil heating cables to help heat the soil. You could use a humidity dome, mini cold frame, plastic bell domes or even glass jars to help keep the frost off your plants once they germinate. Just make sure they get some ventilation so they don't overheat. If you use professional products, they usually have built-in venting.
