High temperatures may affect the plants. That area is a short day area and I am in a neutral day area. The hard part will be to get them to Nov or Dec for harvest. But I will do my best.
I am recording my trials and errors. This year will be lots of new ways I am learning.

Sneak peak of Yukon golld potatoes and starting Oca tubers
I am so excited to receive the Oca tubers.They need to be planted about 3 inches deep. But here in Missouri we have had allot of rain. Now temps are up in the 90f. These tubers many not be happy with that. So I am starting them in 4inch containers. Once I get some roots and growth on top. I will place them in the garden. It will not be till fall that tubers form beneath the plant. So I may have a chance to still get a harvest. This is an experiment to see if they will grow in my area. They are normally grown like potatoes in the Andie's. (South America)
