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.

Shade cloths are for hot seasons, hence “shade” in the name. They protect your crops from the sun and can help with pest damage as well. They come in a variety of different shades depending on how much light you want to let through. You can use them during the cold seasons but there are better products that are specific to those seasons, such as cloths that don’t block much sun but hold the heat in.
