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.

Yeah, I need to research stuff, would there be a website that tells you what you can grow in your zone specifically? Or you just wing it?

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
