Today my sacks came and I've planted my spuds, although they won't be going outside for a few weeks to keep from frosting I am well equipped to grow indoors for the time being. I also have my strawberry runners to plant today as well if anyone has advice as I have never grown them before I welcome all advice I can find use and perspective from all willing to give me they're opinions.
More to come as we grow much love to you all and thanks for everything

I've never had a garden. I did buy a house and planned on learning, but things happen and my garden got put on the shelf. Luckily I'm part of a site that will teach me how to garden before I start. I look forward to hearing about how and what you are doing. Good Luck!

Good grow vibes to your garden this year! Its still snowing here but I've had the bug myself. I also started potatoes from store bought bags. I just knocked off the lil green buds growing from them and put buds in soil. I didn't know if that would even work but they rooted in a couple of days. Sowed seeds from poppies and morning glories in between the snow falls. Indoors I have started assorted chili plant varying from mild to ass blowing hot, Tomatoes, spinach, cilantro, basil, and kratom. I have a green house this year so maybe I can actually have some strawberries without the birds and deer eating them. I still need to get cucumber, broccoli red potatoes, onions and assorted lettuce started but I will probably wait for the weather to warm up to start them outdoors. I am running out of space in the grow tent with all the cactus and kratom that come inside for the winter.

@wimzers- welcome Friend and thank you for posting! The wife and I were hoping to be home owners by this time but with our 2018 we didn't have a chance to save the kind of money needed although our credit scores are getting better every quarter and waiting a little longer for a land purchase will probably benefit us in the long run.
I cook for for a living I've been eating my whole 32 years and I've been cooking professionally for 11 of them so I don't just like food I love food, I am not a healthy water though. Our capitalist society is beneficial in many ways but bottom lines and public health are not on the same agenda for those who are worried about money or profits. Being that my parents were baby-boomers allot of the generational knowledge between they're parents and myself was lost to the wind and with it the knowledge of healthy eating so I grew up drinking and eating shit from boxes cans or bottles any let's face it non of that shit is food. As an adult and a parent I guide my son and don't let him eat the things I unfortunately am addicted too (soda, fast food) hoping he will have the best start for his adulthood and hoping he doesn't spend his 30s trying to lose 100 lbs.

Years ago as a space saver i planted three hills of spuds . when the plants got about 10 inchs tall i placed a used tire around each plant or plants . then i filled each tire with rough sawdust ..............i got a free truck load of cotton wood sawdust from a saw mill that made pallets .
now each tire full of sawdust had just a inch or so of plant peaking out . off course i was watering daily . when the TATOR plants got 10 inches again i added another used tire and filled again with sawdust . i repeated this all summer after first frost the three stacks of tires were about 6 feet tall .i tipped them over they were full of nice clean spuds , just dusted off saw dust spread on blanket with fan To dry threm in basement then packed them in vented fruit boxes layered with news paper to store in cool dark room .
Great way to grow potatoes ,save space , no digging easy harvest.
