In central North Carolina potatoes can be planted as early as mid February and should be in the ground by the end of March. Potatoes planted later than March 31 will still grow, though their yields will likely be lower than earlier planted crops because they will not have as much time to form tubers before the vines start to wither in the summer heat. When and Where to Plant Potatoes. Potatoes planted in March will be ready to harvest in June and July.
Potato plants grow wild all over South America and as far north as Colorado and Nebraska in North America. About 15,000 years ago, when people first came to North America from Asia, they began to eat the potato roots and the roots of similar plants like camas and wapato that they found there. Sometime around 8000 BC, in the Andes Mountains in South America, people began to farm potatoes as well as gathering them.
