Most of what I learned was related to my shortcomings, lol.

I learned that no matter how much I want a large garden, I cannot maintain it when it gets hot, without sacrificing my health. This year I am going to reduce my plant numbers, and be very deliberate about each choice.

I learned that the best thing I can do to ensure gardening success is to install an automatic watering and fertilizing system at the beginning of the season. Last year my system required daily filling, and so was more than I could handle when the real heat set in- this year I plan to have each plant I grow to be auto watered and sheltered.
