Learned a few things to do differently, like grow more stuff vertically. Even squash and melons - easy if you grow smaller varieties or ones designed for containers. Tomatoes really need more than 1 sq ft, but you can make it work if you cage them and cut suckers on your indeterminate ones so they don't sprawl so much.
