Overall it's been a good year for our garden. We had tons of lettuce and spinach early on and our tomatoes and peppers are in full swing now and don't look like they'll be slowing down for a few more weeks. We've even got one lonely, late blooming eggplant on the way.
We learn more every year. This year we lost all of our cucumbers to a soil bacteria. There is no way to tell you have it until it starts killing your plants mid growing season. Other obstacles for this year included deer and a multiplying population of ground hogs. We lost our daisies and Black-eyed Susans but managed to save all the veggies with a little fence work.
Pepper plants early summer.
Pepper plants now. Note addition of fence.
Daisies mid June before blooming. 
Addition of fence and anti-deer plants around the remaining daisies (mid summer).
Aside from the deer damage, my flowers and herbs did EXCELLENT this year. I have begonias, lavender, sage, oregano, and some forgotten name flowers on our back patio area and impatients in the shady front area.
