Depending on where you live your gardening season may just be winding down or at least slowing a little bit or it may have been done for a couple of months now. This is a great time to take a deep breath, recover from the busyness and demands of the garden, and then to look back and reflect. Planning for next year’s garden will be happening soon enough and I know some of you have already started because I know the seed catalogs are rolling in and that gets us excited for next year. But, you can’t know where you’re going if you don’t where you’ve been.

What went well in your garden this year? I mean really well? What didn’t go so well? And what was a complete flop? Do you know why these things happened? And is there any way to either duplicate those results or make corrections so they don’t happen again?

Today on Just Grow Something we’re taking the first step toward planning next season’s garden and that’s reviewing and reflecting what happened this season. I’ll take you step-by-step through the things we should record, if we haven’t already, and how to evaluate what we experienced in the garden in terms of moisture levels, weed pressure, insect damage, and harvests, so we know what went right and how to do it again, or what went wrong and how to avoid doing it again. Let’s dig in.
