A rambling mess

When I first moved into this house, the garden was still presentable. But those big tall trees prevented me from planning any vegetables in the back garden, I could only grow my vegetables in the side yard and grow flowers in the pots.

When the trees were removed because they are fast growing trees, I finally get some sun in the backyard and I'm able to grow vegetables.

I'm trying to grow the melon plants up, since we don't have a lot of space. I would say I like the effect of overgrown here, or a rambling mess.


I've been spending my time cleaning up this rambling mess this past weekend so it can I can start planting fall vegetables. It's the least favorite of my garden activities, but someone got to do it.
