here's what my buddy with the MSU Extension Service told me:
though generally not recommended, irish
potatoes can be planted in the late summer for fall harvest -- IF you can
find good "seed" potatoes or save some from spring (store bought kinds are
northern varieties, and are sometimes treated to reduce sprouts). but they
do very poorly in the heat. and fire ants love them! and 'taters are cheap
in stores and farmers markets in the summer and fall.
