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.

It is the same thing! The first time I grew potatoes, the neighbor saw I was building a garden, so he gave me some eyed out root growing potatoes he bought at a market and had been growing under his cabinet.

I looked up how to plant them, and did, and they grew into plants. A woodchuck came in at ate up most of my garden that year, but he didn't touch the potatoes! It was a harvest of potatoes!

Totally the same thing, you got it :)
