Gardening – Diversify Your Garden
The weather in my part of the universe last year was…strange. And the vegetables I expected to do well didn’t. The vegetables I often planted for fun, however, did well.
I was happy that I planted a wide variety of vegetables.
The weather in 2026, I suspect, will be as strange. But likely in a different way.
So a big focus of my garden plans this year is diversity. I will plant just about everything and hopefully something does well.

Gardening is an adventure. Be adventurous in your plant selection!

2025 Gardening Lessons – Plant A Wide Variety
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.
