Hoping For The New Year

[montyb]

Last year was much better than 2023 which was a wash out But all the vegetables were stunted and slow. I managed to get some tomatoes and cucumbers but everything was so stunted. Tomatoes maxed out at maybe 2 1/2 feet. After almost 3 months lettuce was only an inch high. I used fertilizer and made sure things were watered but nothing seemed to grow. Others who have gardens said to me similar it was a bad year As we are up north in Canada we had not too much snow and a mild winter last year but this year we have had a rougher winter and much more snow what do you think, will a winter with more snow help for a better growing season?
