as silver said let them dry before planting
if you have some ash from the fire pit dip the cut side in the ash, it helps with the drying and also helps prevent any disease's forming on the spud when drying
 
try to avoid supermarket spuds jaros ,all the work that has been done to get the garden where it is can be destroyed by one spud from the supermarket
worst case would be planting a spud with what they call blackleg disease ,it will contaminate all the soil in the bed ,dump the lot and start again

if you have ever had a spud that was black in the middle and starting to rot from the inside to out that is blackleg ,introduced to the soil via a bad spud then becomes a soil born disease near impossible to get rid of it

if there are no shops close to buy certified spud seed try (green harvest -at witta qld near maleny) they have a lot of the heirloom seeds as well

starting to get its first crop of fruit too. Its suprising what can be growen down here if you have the patience. Many things will survive the cold if you get them big enough as the ground never really freezes but the air temp will often drop below zero. This is a picture of an Atlantic giant pumpkin next to a Bacon Advocado. Maybe of interest to top ender. Therre are a few tricks to growing big ones but I am going to be lazy and just let it do its thing.

Might have overfed him to cause this or it may be old seed or a bush chook attack ?
His little bro is doing well.
