Video Description

After one of the wettest ends to spring ever, here is the harsh reality: my garden is ruined, and everything is dying. Just 4 weeks ago, my spring garden was picture perfect, but weeks of torrential rainfall has destroyed my summer garden. Tragedy like this makes us want to quit gardening, but before you do, watch this video.

Not every gardening season goes well, but bad gardening seasons hold tremendous value by revealing what the best varieties to grow are for our climate. When only the strongest plants survive, we learn what are the best plants to grow. In this video, I turn heartbreak into empowerment by revealing the best varieties of tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, peppers and more truly are, because these tough plants are surviving these terrible conditions. I will plant these varieties as the foundation of my vegetable garden in future years now that I've seen how incredible they are!
