The weather during our 2025 gardening season was…wild.
It was scorching hot one day and near frost cold the next day. It rained hard for a day. Then there was drought for a month. Insects, both beneficial and harmful, were plentiful.
The plants I expect to do well in our garden (like tomatoes) didn’t. The plants that did well (like parsley) surprised me.
I think, with our changing climate, this unpredictability will become…predictable.
And the only way I think to combat this, while gardening outside, is to plant a variety of crops and hope some do well.
