Late Summer Problems in the Garden

Against all odds, my little garden survived my two month absence.
......
I think that's doing the plants a disservice, let me amend: without my meddling hand, the plants were able to do just as God intended, which is to say grow and thrive. As I examined the plants the day I returned from Peru, I noticed that I had committed several grave errors. The first (and worst of by far) was planting too many sweet potatoes in a small space. As you can see, (insert eccentric drawl here) they're takin' over! 

I'll have to start wearing a tin foil hat.

The second of my problems is visible in this picture as well: I failed to prune my indeterminate tomatoes, so they have now grown far too tall and have slumped. Two of them have died, but I suppose that's alright because the other two are now using their fallen comrades' corpses for support, an idea worthy of Hemingway. 

I digress.

Anyways, the last, and certainly least, of my problems is that I did nothing about the runners from my strawberry plant and now have approximately 10,000 (adjusted for exaggeration) extra budding plants. I'm currently working on salvaging these lil babies in recycled flower pots and giving them to friends and family. Hopefully now that I'm going to be around more and have a better idea of how to garden efficiently, I'll be able to guard my plants more carefully.
