Can either of you who mentioned the moon phases, which implies some level of effect on the plants, enlighten me on how it affects the potato or possibly other plants?
Thanks!!

I don't know if there's any real science behind it.
People have been timing their activities (including planting, growing and harvesting) by the moon for thousands of years. Since I started paying more attention to the moon, and since I've been actively trying to time things by the moon, I've had more "good years" with better quality and quantity of crops, and fewer "bad years" with poor growth and small harvests. Whether that's coincidence, or a real correlation, I don't know. I put it in the category, "doesn't hurt, might help."
