I am planning on starting a vegetable garden once it starts to get warmer. I live on long island new york and I have no prior knowledge about gardening other than a couple youtube videos. I have a pretty good idea on what I want to grow but might add or removes some. Yukon gold potatoes and maybe russets too, strawberries, san marzano tomato, carrots, a bush rosemary and maybe some other other herbs, onions maybe, and pepper maybe. I'm leaning towards using raised beds but might change my mind. I'm going to do all this in a small backyard and I'm most likely going to buy sprouts from home depot or something. I want to know basically everything I possibly could and should know as much information possible. And I have alot of questions to ask I'll put a couple here but I'll ask more as the thread goes on. What type of soil/compost should I use, does the water I use matter or can I use normal hose water, how should I setup a raised bed properly, what type of fertilizer should I use, what's the optimal time to start growing, should I mix different breeds of potatoes in one bed, are garden bags any better for glowing, how should I arrange all the plants, Is there a way to grow bigger potatoes or tomatoes, what is a surefire way to increase yields, what are some recommendations for other things I can grow, what are some other things that I need or would be helpful? As much help as possible is greatly appreciated
