There are a few people who plant spuds (in tubs under cover) all year round. Their biggest problems are blight and other creatures eating them like slugs.

If you get lucky with the elements and pests, you will enjoy a crop. Roughly 12-17 weeks to get to eating size, so you should beat the frost and harvest.
