not too late at all for spuds in grow bags, just means you will have them later in the year..the reason that spuds are planted out in march/april is to get them harvested before the wet cool weather can rot them in the soil- not such a problem in grow bags, blight also becomes more prevalent as the year goes on but again not such a bother with grow bags.

I sowed potatoes around this time last year, could have been the last week of May in sacks and they were great. I sowed Pentland Javelin which are new potatoes. You can sow potatoes in August that should be ready for the Christmas dinner.
