Beginner Gardener year 2, too much nitrogen?

[DirtMechanic]

When did you plant? Is it premature expectation?

That's what I'm thinking

Tomato plants 3ft high, Zucchini 2.4 feet high, bean plants 1.5 feet high. All just flowering I think. This certainly didn't happen last year.

Might just be me but this looks seriously overcrowded and leggy.

Advice, chop some of it out...or is it too late?

 

[Ruderunner]

Chop or pull. Typical zucchini gets to be 3 to 4 foot across. Looking like you have a dozen in that space.

Tomatoes I've typically planted 2 feet apart, trying 3 feet this year.

What kind of beans? Some can tolerate being closer than others.

I don't think it's too late but the plants won't have time to produce as much. You'll still get something.

I definitely would not pull...instead cut as low as you can. Pulling may disturb/damage a lot of roots of the plants you want to keep because they are so intertwined.
