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 use burpee’s website to find out planting windows, and you can check out the farmers almanac website, they have tons of info! But anything can affect your plants- the sun in your area, the soil, if theres big trees around shading more than you realize, certain bugs in your area, temps, even water hardness etc etc
it gets easier every year
