What’s Your Biggest Garden Success (or Flop) This Year — and What Did You Learn?

[TEG Project Manager]

Every growing season is full of surprises—some that make us proud, and others that make us shake our heads and take notes for next year! Maybe your tomatoes went wild, your compost finally turned to gold, or your pollinator garden became a buzzing paradise. Or maybe... your zucchini took over everything, or that “foolproof” plant didn’t survive the first frost.

Gardening is one big experiment, and even the flops are full of lessons.

So, what was your biggest win—or your most humbling garden moment—this year? And what did you take away from it? Share your story—we’re all growing and learning together!

so far doing well with all the stuff that normally does well. the bees are all over the early summer flowers enough that i have to be careful where i walk.

harvested some nice peas and pea pods and we are enjoying eating them. Beaver Dam pepper plants look to have a good first crop.

downsides, no matter how good your tools might be it doesn't accomplish anything if you don't have enough time to use them. i'm weeding along when i can but i'm behind the curve on weeds this year and probably a week and a half or more before i can get started on the worst garden. more other tasks keep piling on. just the way it is.

and, well, it's all not done yet. ...
