How Does Your Garden Grow?...

My little "garden" is a bit insane these days. I had this tiny little patch of dirt in my back yard between the neighbors steps and my own. I decided to fill it full. Too full it turns out, I didn't estimate properly the full grown size of these plants.

The tiny patch of dirt is now over flowing with plants. It looks like a bunch of weeds.

If you look more closely, you can see I have a few green pepper plants. It's very handy to walk out the back door and grab a pepper at will.

I also have a red cherry tomato plant and a yellow grape tomato plant. They both got so tall, close to 6 foot, that the stakes could not hold them up and they fell over. I gave up and let all the tomatoes fall, but they seem to keep growing.

I also have two regular tomato plants.

Last, but not least I have 3 watermelon plants. I planted three hills and didn't think any would grow and of course all three did. I have several tiny little watermelons growing. I really hope they have time to turn out before cold weather. I planted them kinda late. I'm trying to force them to grow all in one direction toward my side of the backyard. My poor neighbors.

I planted spinach a couple of time, but no luck. Last year I did spinach in a planter box with no problems. I also planted a couple of onions and no luck there either. I think I simply have too many roots in this small space for more to grow. Next year I'll know better and plant less.
