Is gardening as a whole a hit and miss when trying to get a good harvest? (lemmy.world)

What I mean is, do you get better crop yield in one year and a year later you don't get much depending on how bad or good the season was?

I'm at zone 7 UK if that helps. We've just started to try gardening this year and the summer season has been scorching most of the time and with autumn rolling in it's still fairly warm but not sunny.

You win some, you lose some. Weather every summer is different so what thrives in my garden changes every year. You can plant more heat resistant plants next year. My long beans went crazy in our higher humidity while my spinach struggled.

Long beans? That's not a bad shout tbh, we'll try that next year for sure. Yeah the weather seems to be the main issue with mine and everyone else's problems this year. You win some you lose some is right!
