Gardening in a Small Yard

I have always loved to garden, but my small yard now is making that very difficult. Here's a picture of my garden at our old house. I would've still liked it to be bigger, but this was good enough for living in a duplex. We had corn, peppers, tomatoes, green beans, squash, zucchini, and onions.




Now, I'm trying hard to do what I can in our new yard. Our yard is extremely small and has a large pond in the backyard. The entire backyard slopes down to this pond making it difficult to find a level spot for a garden. Right now I have two small gardens.

Garden #1 has tomatoes, green peppers, and banana peppers in it.

Garden #2 has cucumbers, onions, strawberries, and green beans in it.

I have many other plants placed around in my landscaping and in pots. I have zucchini, squash, cayenne peppers, yellow peppers, cucumbers, okra, bush beans, and cherry tomatoes.

I'm having trouble right now with rabbits and sunlight. Our house sits at an angle so there isn't full sun anywhere in our yard. I've tried surrounding things with dead thorn branches from my rose bushes to keep the rabbits away. So far it seems to be working. I'll write more as the plants progress.
