The veg patch bites back

Now I'm working for a while I don't get so much time to look after the garden so I had a quick look this morning to put a bucket of water on the tomatoes. I'd taken a couple of courgettes off last weekend and they wee very tasty so I thought I'd see how they are getting on. There are two monsters there now and the one I picked weighs 2.5 kilos! I'd heard that they grow quickly when they get going but I wasn't prepared for that.

The rest of the bed is out of control. I reduced the recommended spacings for the seeds to get more in and everything is overlapping with carrots fighting the sprouts and the beetroot overpowering the onions. I'll know better next year.
