Why These Garden Crops Failed Me This Season

Описание: In 2025, my small suburban garden produced 520 pounds of food — but not every crop earned its place. Some crops didn’t fail outright. They grew. They survived. But by the end of the season, they quietly took more than they gave.

In this video, I’m walking through the crops that struggled in my 2025 garden — not to dwell on mistakes, but to understand why they underperformed and what those lessons mean going forward.

I’m sharing:

What I expected from each crop
What actually happened by harvest time
The patterns that showed up across multiple failures
And how these lessons are shaping my planting decisions for next season

This isn’t about blaming weather or bad luck. I track harvest weights, timing, and bed usage so I can evaluate what’s actually worth growing. Most of these issues came down to soil quality, timing, competition for light, pest pressure — and waiting a little too long to step in.

Tracking my harvests helped me see those patterns clearly, without emotion or guesswork. And that clarity is what helps a small garden improve year after year.

This video is part of my 2025 Garden Recap Series, where I’m sharing what worked, what didn’t, and how I’m planning to grow more intentionally moving forward.

If you garden in a small space — or you’ve ever had crops that “kind of worked” but still felt wrong — I think you’ll find this one relatable.
