I have spent most of the spring and summer lamenting the condition and rate of production of my raised bed gardens, so it only seems fair that I should share the positive developments.
I am beginning to harvest raspberries: 
It won’t be long before I am harvesting blackberries:
I am regularly picking tomatoes, which are added to salads of lettuces, chard, and radishes from the garden. 
The eggplants are developing nicely. Now I just have to figure out a way to cook them so that my husband and children will eat them. 
I don’t have pictures of the herbs, onions, and peppers growing in the garden, but they are featured in this dip: 
Needless to say, I am thrilled to finally have an opportunity to enjoy the fruits of my labor! Do you grow your own fruits and veggies? Have you had an unusually trying time gardening this year?

Thanks so much for linking this to the TGP- I can only dream about harvesting my tomatoes! Love that dip!

Mine are doing well entirely based on dumb luck rather than through gardening skill. I just happen to have the exact conditions that they like: warm air, warm soil, low water, and compost with lots of manure in it.

Do you have any tips on growing eggplant? I planted eggplant and they would not grow in the garden, so I moved them to pots because I was told the potting soil would help. It took them a while to grow, but they finally did and they are just now producing. They have maybe 2 eggplants per plant and one is dying.
