You can dig a few new potatoes soon after they flower, just don't disturb the roots TOO much. They can be planted earlier than many people think. Some zone 7 folks here plant in January, although some old-timers say St. Patty's day.
I'll add to what Michael said, don't plant tomatoes where potatoes have been grown in the past 3 years (so I've read.)
