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.

Gardening for the most part is a controlled environment so good yields can be expected unless some external force has occurred. Farming, on the other hand, is hit and miss, unless you are rich enough to control that environment.

External force here being the climate/weather variations. Pests too, don't forget the pests ๐Ÿ˜
