Growing Potato

the following answer is not based on scientific research but my own experiences . In temperate regions of Australia you don't get the deep penetrating frosts of the northern hemisphere so I say to you that go ahead and plant your potatoes into the ground about the second or third week in June ,if you're growing on a small scale you may be able to provide some kind of cover in an extreme situation but not to worry even if you see shoots turning black the business end oh a potato is under the soil and it will be fine .
