Answers:
Yah potatoes are great and I like pulling them up early for new potatoes so planting late isn't such a big deal you might consider putting some carrot seed between the tomatoe roots too, both the carrot and tomato will grow better this way
Thats an extremely small garden
yep, go for it, our potatoes grow in practically anything. We stopped growing them, but we still get them when we turn the turf
It depends on where you live and what kind of soil you have. In the north you can plant them with other things. In the south you should plant them along and rotate every year for 5 years.
Remove the sunflower stalks, find late producing potatoes, dig a small trench and plant the cut-up potatoes (make sure each one has an "eye" on it). Cover the potatoes with a small amount of dirt. As green leaves appear, hoe loose dirt over the leaves, almost covering this. The plants produce under ground the more dirt you pile on the stems and leaves the more potatoes they will produce. It may be too late in the year for potatoes, but you might get some small new potatoes. Worth a try!
You probably can plant the potatoes. It would be a good idea to double check with a local landscaper just to make sure. You can check out http://www.1800topsoil.com for more help. They are national, so they may have someone local. Good luck!
