How does your garden grow???

In the interim before planting my raised beds in the fall, I have 2 small plots in my yard a bunch of containers growing. Here is what I have growing, so far.

1 pot with Mr. Stripey tomatoes.
1 pot with Yellow Pear tomatoes.
2 pots of Patio Tomatoes.
1 pot with Ichiban Eggplant (hopefully this will turn into something besides a tall plant)
1 steel bin with 2 okra plants.
3 bell pepper plants

In the ground I have:

4 collard plants
3 cucumber plant
1 jack b little pumpkin plant
8 corn plants
1 okra plant
1 eggplant plant (Fairytale)
12 yard long bean plants

today I also moved my herbs from a window box to the garden:

bee balm
lemon balm
sweet basil
oregano
lavender plants x 2

I love my garden. I am out there every day pulling weeds and cultivating, mulching, watering. Now I just wish it would rain, already.
