The UFL chart has the last date for central as Feburary and the southern as January. I would give it a shot if you are in the northern part of 10A, as long as you have spare room to experiment. I was shopping for potato seed last fall and found that the big outfits have no idea when we should plant. They all want to ship way to late and they are not too good at special order shipping. I found left over 2012 seed that was available for immediate shipment from Natural Gardening. They were clearing them, so those are all gone now. I kept them in the fridg until last week. I will plant next week if my foot heals up enough to dig. They are starting to sprout quite nicely. I think that you could hold the seed until you fall planting time, but your fridg is meant for short term food storage rather than long term seed holding. They may not make it to September. You might try an internet search for seed potato and look up some smaller organic outfits. You might get them to ship early, or hold back some seed for fall planting. I've had fantastic luck dealing with organic family farms. They have been genuinely interested in the oddball planting times we have this far South. Larry

Hiya Zackey........you keep asking about GardenHoard....Here's her recent Facebook message: Garden Hoard February 27 I just wanted to let everyone know that I am extremely swamped with orders and SASE's. I am doing my best to get everything out ASAP!

Your wanting to do the whole 3.75 acre? You do say if you want to landscape this area or not but if it was mine I would take the larger area and let nature have it back. Purchase some wildflower seeds and throw them about the whole area. There is a mix of spring, summer and fall plants. Also look up LadyBird wild flower farm. If you order now you'll be able to spread poppies, blue bonnets and other wildflower seed in time for spring. Here is a link that might be useful: wildflower, wild flower seed, native wildflowers from wildseed farms

I was in Wally world today and bought some seed potatoes out of the garden section, I was amazed at the prices, they were only $2.50 per package, so I bought 4 packs, 2 Yukon gold, 1 red potato, and 1 Russett potato. They were also selling bare root strawberry plants, 10 for $2.50, but I was afraid that if I bought them today there is a good chance we would get another cold spell in Georgia, so hopefully they will still have them in stock around the end of March. I am so excited about this garden, I ordered my compost/soil blend and I have a dump truck full (15 cubic yards) coming in the next few days. I did the math and it was more cost-effective for me to purchase my soil this way. I am just trying to prepare myself for success as much as I can, I know I will have setbacks, but I am prepared to learn from my mistakes.
