I think they mean planting in mid-summer for a fall crop -- not
necessarily an overwintered one.  Potatoes can't take any frost to speak
of.  You will probably have to save some seed next spring for later
planting as this year's crop will not sprout well and I doubt you'll
find anyone selling seed right now.  Not much demand.
