Okay, so I don't feel much like typing today, so this is mostly going to be a bunch of pictures. I'll come back and write stuff later...
Here are the pictures I took back on the first of June: (Yeah, we got a late start on the garden this year).
We made a fence from old wall paneling, so the dogs and baby couldn't get in:
Squash/zucchini:
Hot peppers, cucumbers in the background:
More peppers and cucumbers:
Eggplant, tomatoes, and corn:
Bell peppers with tomatoes in the background:
Ittle tiny baby bell peppers started from seed:
Middle three rows, back to front:
Tomatoes, hot peppers started from seed, herbs started from seed (cilantro, oregano, and parsley).
More bell pepper seedlings:
Two rows of corn, perpendicular to the rest of the garden rows:
Red leaf lettuce, from seed (I'm actually surprised these grew as long as they did, seeing how we planted them late and it's really hot here, they just turned bitter a couple of weeks ago):
Potted garden: Strawberries, cucumber, basil, rosemary, thyme, lettuce, and chives.
More pots: parsley, stevia, baby cilantro, strawberries, and oregano.
Sunflowers:
Blackberries:
Baby blueberry bush that I'm pretty sure died not long after this:
Our random melon garden: red watermelon, yellow watermelon, canteloupe, and pumpkins.

And these pictures were taking at the end of July. Since then the garden is slowly wilted, we've picked the corn and cut down the stalks, one of the tomato plants completely died so I pulled it up, and I cut down the lettuce because it went bitter.
A very small harvest for the day: a Japanese cucumber, two miniature white/yellow cucumbers, and three miniature purple bell peppers:
Mini purple bell pepper plant:
Okra:
Parsley (front left), dead, gone-to-seed cilantro (back left) and hot peppers from seed (right):
Tomatoes and hot peppers:
Bell peppers:
Fuzzy eggplant:
Struggling mini white cucumber plant (the zucchini leaves shade it, plus it got trampled a few times by Lily's drunken Papa >_<). See the baby cucumber?:
More hot peppers, and cucumbers to the left:
My row of cucumbers. The stakes I made out of dead bamboo from the wild patch behind our house, then wrapped twine around so the vines would have something to cling to.
Can you find the cucumber? ninja
Tiny baby Japanese cucumber:
Squash and zucchini plants:
Sunflowers, now cut down and seeds have been harvested ^^
Parsley and oregano:
Pretty Chive flowers:

Hey Mystic Momma!
I built a raised bed last June-ish and it had turned into a mini compost pile since then without anything added since the September.
I'm thinking of planting in it this year biggrin
What do you think of:
Sugar Snap Peas
Nasturtiums
Bell Peppers
??
biggrin How well do sunflower far on clay soil do you know?
Anything secrets on growing bell peppers? I decided to switch my tomatoes for peppers this year.
And how do you manage to get your strawberries to grow in pots!? Every time I transplant one of mine it dies! I don't know if its the soil or it hates my porch and aphids keep gathering around the base of my strawberries ;_;
