The most productive gardening year of my life was in 2025 and it was fantastic! Tomato plants more than 8 feet tall, cherry tomatoes all the way into mid-November, so many cucumbers that I eventually even tried making pickles, and bell peppers still growing strong in December. The whole experience was amazing!
The “best” part about it all, though, were the important life lessons I found myself re-learning throughout the year in (and from) the garden, things like “accept help” and “deal with problems while they are small” and “better times are coming”. It was so moving that I wrote a book about it (available at Lulu now, with Amazon coming soon).
