I have a ton of green tomatoes. Bell pepper 1 so far. Seeing jalapeño and jalafuegos(sp?) are coming on. Had aphids show up on the peppers. Went to war on them. I think I got them stopped. Last year they got so bad I pulled all the peppers couldn't get them down. I moved the peppers out of that house and moved a ways away. Still got them.
I'm eating Mexican Sour cucumbers finally. They are different but I like them. Gherkins are producing now along with the leaf lettuce. Never did get a radish this season. Have no idea what went wrong.
Beans are starting to flower along with the potatoes. Waiting on everything else to do it's thing,

Blackberries starting to come in. Plenty more to come.
None of the red raspberries made it into the house this morning. It's nice to pick and eat breakfast in the garden.

Been a cool summer so far, but it's starting to deliver.

All of you! That is so unfair showing pictures 
! I'm getting some gherkins. Armenians are just now starting to put runners out. Beans are blooming. Found one small cantaloupe growing. A ton of green tomatoes. The jalapeños are coming on. Green peppers are so so. Acorn squash are growing. I will have a lot of black berries and a few raspberries when they decide to grow and ripen.

Mid July update. Tomatoes I started are finally starting to look like something decent.
Peppers are hit and miss- the giant Marconi and garden salsa peppers look good, but the rest are stunted, so hopefully get some to turn around.
Deer jumped the gate and pounded peas for a night, so that crop will be light, but should have a really good bean, broccoli and Brussels sprouts crop.
Cucumbers look ok
And then there are the pumpkins and squash and gourds… they’ve been sprawling and climbing everywhere… hoping for a banner year. Had lots of volunteers that I transplanted so it’ll be fun to see what the mystery plants are.
And of course the weeds are unstoppable

My brother in law said an old guy told him to put wood ash around the plants and that would prevent the borers. He hasn't had any problems so far this year so maybe that guy knows something.
