I live in emerald area and want to plant potato in a raised garden on concrete and was wondering if they will go well in the ground if planted now

They will grow better in Winter

A commercial grower in Bundaberg (about a 6 hr drive south of Emerald) plants in May. Emerald would be a drier place than Bundy and colder in winter. In Bundy they grow two crops sometimes, an Autumn and a Spring crop. Sweet potatoes are grown all year here also.

You talk about a raised bed and then say plant in the ground. Leave it until March April.
