One reason that I wanted to try real early potato varieties when I finally got back to growing them was that I hoped to have 2 crops in the same year.
If I miss one in the ground, it will re-sprout and grow a little before frost. That is the best that can happen in this climate. I've tried moving and replanting, also. They won't have time to produce tubers - not even the most lightning-quick.
You are getting such a jump on my season!
What I'd really have fun with is growing the maximum amount of food in the minimum amount of space. Your growing space is even movable.

I'm not really sure. Last year I was running outside with sheets trying to protect the tomatoes from frost half way through May
... I think it was May.....

I have been looking for an excuse to post this map again, Cane'!
It is hard to see and of very limited value (except for comparisons) but if you click the map, you'll go to the Weather Service's Climate Normals for Freeze/Frost:
Go for the 50% chance of 32°f, if you can find a nearby Weather Station.

They're really getting big Cane! I see you're giving them fresh air too, very thoughtful!

My 50% is April 10, which matches the map I got from the state extension service. Last year we had snow with accumulation on May 1, with accompanying freeze. The year before it was late March but I don’t remember the exact date.
I’ll plan accordingly.

Our theoretical frost free date is April 15, just about the same day I usually spot the first hummingbird.

The look great!!! 
Just give them a turn so one side is not bent over (I cant stand lopsided plants 
) and use warm water when you water them they like to be warm
