Hey Neighbor! Every gardening season has its wins and its disappointments! In this episode of the Row By Row Show, Greg and Sheila look back at their 2026 garden winners and losers, sharing what thrived, what struggled, and what they've learned as they start planning for spring.

From beautiful blooms and productive vegetable varieties to strawberries that struggled in vertical planters, disappointing sweet corn, and sunflowers that didn't quite live up to expectations, they're breaking down the good, the bad, and everything in between!

Sheila shares her favorite flowers of the season, including Double Dutch Rose Cosmos, Coco Marigolds, Double Lemon Calendula, ProCut Peach Lite Sunflowers, and more. She also highlights some standout vegetable varieties, including Sofire and Vidora Onions, Tasty Bites Hybrid Melon, and Hoss Butternut Squash.

Greg reveals his own garden favorites, including African Blue Basil, Black Angel, Coco Marigolds, and Mountain Mint, while discussing why crops like sweet corn, early zinnias, and Spanish lavender didn't perform as expected.
