Potatoes are not frost hardy and will not grow if the temperature is less than 7 degrees centigrade, or 45 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature reaches around 21 degrees C, or 70 degrees F, the potato will start to grow shoots and can be planted out.
Once the potato has started to grow it will survive in temperatures from around 7 degrees C up to around 25 degrees C, or 80 degrees F, although they do grow best at around 21 degrees C. They do not like very hot weather and will probably not survive long in temperatures of 35 degrees C, or 95 degrees F, and much over that will kill them outright.
Not much since potatoes are an underground crop. When a seed potato is planted and hilled up as it grows it covers takes up about a radius of a foot or so. This is why you can grow them in a garbage can easily.
Plant your potatoes where they will receive full sun. Occasionally cover the developing potatoes with dirt else they can be uncovered by rain and turn green.

Sweet potatoes will only grow well when grown in full sunlight, which means a minimum of 6 hrs per day.
