Reply to comment by mynameisnotshamus in First time gardening by mak83s

Yeah, I dunno why OP is starting now, maybe he has a greenhouse? Maybe he's planting an odd variety not found as plants around here? Gotta ask him. I've always started taters directly in ground. I love straw for moisture retention back off weeds, and fork back in come fall

Ahhh. Moisture retention. Got it. I’ve had issues at least early with too much moisture, slugs and some mildew. Every year it’s been a new issue. Last year I didn’t have a garden for first time since having a yard.
