I can’t tell if this is a shitpost or not
In the case it isn’t:
Clean up the space over your desk. Most of that can go in a drawer or somewhere else
Fix your cable management. it looks like my olive garden leftovers. keeping with the garden theme, I use tomato velcro. It’s not great for looks but it’s $5.50 for 45 feet of the stuff and if you hide them well it won’t matter. There are plenty of videos on youtube for how to cable manage well, but iirc TechSource made a good video about it.
Clean up your keyboard tray. Just wipe it down with a paper towel or something I can see the dust in the pics
Pick up your trash. at least have enough decency to pick up the cans from the top of your desk because no one cares you drink pepsi.
If you took the time to clean up your setup would look infinitely better
This spring I started a garden on my deck in Philadelphia. This was really the first time I gardened anything seriously and I’ve enjoyed myself immensely. Skip to the bottom for the album of it all.
I primarily started my plants from seeds without researching how they grow:
I quickly realized that I needed to be creative about how to manage these plants as a lot of them grow out instead of staying compact. Once the plants outgrew their medium sized pots, I needed a different solution. The major unlock for me was finding CaliKim's container gardening videos on YouTube that recommended planter bags. She also has a great method of making cage trellises that work perfectly in the bags she recommended.
With this starting point I was able to get these plants into a compact space and still be able to thrive. Because I’ve got everything on top of each other there is some inter-mingling but for the most part things stay in their cages.
My deck faces south and with the egregious Philadelphia summer I sometimes have to water twice a day to keep everything happy. I have done a lot of pruning to keep the plants reigned in and not way overgrow their plot.
As the project progressed I realized I needed bamboo stakes to stabilize the cages and my non caged plants, and a few other random items listed below:
The watermelon needed hammocks to fend off gravity in this system, pole around YouTube for different ways people have done this
In my research I got disheartened several times because many said growing watermelon or cucumber or squash in a compact space is extremely challenging and arguably not worth it. At that point I had already started the plants and I decided to give it a try anyway. To my delight things have turned out very well, and I wanted to share with any other urban gardeners who think they don’t have enough space for veggies.
Next year I would grow more cucumbers and cage them instead of stake them (or maybe both). For the winter my plan is to leave the bags and soil outside and see how they hold up. It seems like they are able to handle snow / excess moisture without too much issue.

Check out garden velcro. I use it for my girls in smart pots. It grips the fabric perfectly for LST.
You can also use plant velcro -- it's easy to use, reuse and readjust as needed =]
My Monstera came like this and it was already vining which made it even droopier so I attached it to a moss pole with plant-safe velcro (this stuff: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0057567U0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) zip ties work too, just make sure you are not attaching them too tightly, leave plenty of space so you don't cause circulation issues :)
Better yet, the rolls of velcro tape where you can just cut whatever length you need. I use these for cable management all the time.
And i should just stab the sticks into the dirt? Or is there any secrets to avoid messing with the roots?
Also what would I tie them with? I'd like to not use jank shit like zip ties

> When do I need to stake them up?
The sooner the better. If you do it early, though, and use any kind of restrictive thing to attach it to the stakes, remember you'll have to periodically loosen.
> What is the best solution for this?
No idea. I used 6 foot stakes and velcro last time I grew tomatoes. Obviously you'll need to support the tops of those stakes somehow.
> What do I take out the smaller stems to allow for just one plant or continue with multiple?
Absolutely thin them. Choose the healthiest looking one, obviously. Tomato are big plants.
