Man...worst year ever in the garden. Wayyyy too much rain early on I think. Barely got anything from tomatoes or peppers ...Some eggplant and okra..

Too much rain can be a problem all right - great for molds though. It’s a wonder anyone ever has a product to harvest, but we nearly always get something. Every year it’s a different item that does well it seems.
I’d hate to have to depend on our gardening skills for all our food, but if we were in that situation, we’d probably be a bit more diligent, and hopefully get a better outcome. LOL
Our worst year was 2012. The spring was cool and too wet, but the summer was a scorcher, and less rain than usual. The rain barrels that usually would get us through the July and August dry period were out of water by end of May.
Some really great looking crops - we had to just let them go and burn up. The thing I hated the most though was the wild black berries. I had been harvesting them daily - nice big plump berries.
Then they dried up with the drought, and they have never come back from that trauma. Every year we just get little scrawny dried up looking produce - gives the birds something to eat I guess.
