Geez it's still February. I'm surprised you plant now.

One year I planted potatoes early and they were growing great, then a late freeze came.

I keep a close eye on the weather so I was able to protect them.

I took a roll of black felt roofing paper and rolled it out a bit longer than the row, folded it in half lengthwise and made a tent over the little potato plants. To keep it from being blown off the row by a stray gust of wind, I shoveled some dirt against the bottom of the tent. I saved my potatoes.
