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.

I cut my cherry tomato plant down to a stump when the crop is done and the vine shrivels up, but I keep giving it a little water and I usually get a whole fresh vine and winter crop.

I only have pots on a balcony but it's a very big balcony.

I've been watching how to overwinter tomato plants for the winter and yeah that's what they said to do like what you did, basically to cut all of the leaves and leave some of the main stems and water them iirc, I can take the plants indoors right? I also have a small greenhouse too if I can put them in there during winter, or is inside the house better?

If you have a greenhouse try that!
