Well, the tomatoes are doing pretty well this year, especially the brandywines, though most of them are still green - were a few nice red ones a few weeks ago in a spurt. The gourds took over the fence again and are growing really large, much larger than last year. Think I have a pumpkin plant growing on the fence too, some nice 1' diameter pumpkins hanging from it. The strawberries are doing ok, though not really expanding as much as I would have hoped. The strawberries that I have let develop are rather small and puny, and not very tasty - maybe they'll be better next year? Maybe all that manure is stunting their growth? The peppers are growing very nicely, and I think with some support they might have done even better - they're elongate and all still green, but semi-sweet and juicy.

Neither the broccoli nor the cauliflower worked out, except for one or two plants with rather small heads the rest all bolted quite early, the cold and rain maybe?

Plan on establishing some winter rye over most of the garden, except where tomatoes, peppers and gourds are.
