My big problem is an inability to throw away an old plant that might still produce something. I cut off a lettuce and leave it under the lights for a couple of days, then see it starting to regrow and leave it there in case it produces something edible. I buy new strawberry plants because I know you are supposed to throw away the old ones when they get to 3 years old. So I now have some that are 6 years old and yesterday I trimmed off the dead leaves and thought they looked ok so I would give them 1 more year... Then I struggle to find space for the new ones I bought
I do the same with flowers, and then when I do finally get rid of the winter bedding its far too late to plant the summer stuff or everywhere has sold out
My windowsills currently contain 6 tomato plants of which 3 are cut off and clearly dead and 3 have straggly growth with mini green tomatoes on them. Experience tells me that these tomatoes are extremely unlikely to produce anything much worth eating, but I leave them anyway, just in case. There are also 3 pepper plants one of which still has a small orange pepper on, the other 2 have been cut down. I know I will need the space for new plants next year, but...A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard Nimoy

Mine seem similar to everyone else. planting things in a mass seed sow rather than sowing things in batches, not enough weeding, not enough feeding, spacing things too close. A complete inability to throw away a healthy plant even if I have nowhere for it, buying plants with no actual plan for them.
Sowing way more varieties than I have room for is something I do every year which may tie into spacing everything too close.
Im bad for not pruning fruit bushes either.
Looking at this Im amazed I grow anything!

Continually buying seeds and then being disappointed when I can't find room to fit them in.
Or being too eager to direct sow, this year must ensure the ground is properly warmed up before I sow carrots!https://roosorganicallotment.wordpress.com/

last year it as lettuce seeds they just didn't germinate and my sprout seedling snuffed it and I had to buy plants!!! And what rubbish results they gave me, sowing twice as many sprouts this year 2 weeks apart so I have spares.
