List would be too long. I went from 0 garden knowledge to SFG. So umm... to name a few...

Peat moss
Vermiculite for garden use (knew about it for insulation)
Garlic scapes
Daikon radishes
Trellising tomatoes (knew about staking and cages)
Winter squash vs summer squash
Cabbage worms / butterflies
Mulching
Drip irrigation
Topping peppers
How many plants grow and look. (Broccoli especially)
How fast spring goes to summer in my area

Water.


Too much water.

Water at the wrong time.

Water, humidity and powdery mildew

Watering and slugs

Water... if it doesn't fall from the sky regular wow, it's hard.

We have all come a long way, haven't we?

All of the above, plus real compost and the role of microbes. I should add, winter squash are summer crops. Embarassed

Never knew about a good mixture for soil. 
In recent past. I lived in an apartment. I have plants indoors. The potting soil I buy at the stores is awful. Cactus mix? Got to be joking. Stuff reminds me more of mortar, than soil. 

Will be using the soil mix in everything from now on.

Everything was new to me since I never grew veggies before 2010. Still learning good insects and bad.  Still learning diseases.
