This year, more restraint was issued and we limited ourselves to seven tomato plants, three cucumber and five pepper plants in a few varieties.
This is what it looked like as of this morning.
The two cherry tomato plants are growing splendidly.
The cucumbers are ready to reach out and climb along the fence.
The strawberries are coming in nicely. The reason you don't see any is that Troy, Tim and I picked the dozen or so that were there yesterday, ate them on the spot. 
I quietly enjoyed a silent score update of Deb 1 Squirrels 0 before we ate them. This is the first year I can remember actually eating a strawberry from this pot because the #(*%#@ squirrels or birds always got to them first.

Big ups on your garden. I am very jealous. I wanted to build one this year, but the bathroom renovation is taking up what little spare time we have. Maybe we can build it this fall, then just have the planting to do in the spring. In the meantime, I've got strawberries growing on the deck, and plan to do more container gardening to tide me over.
We just put some of ours in as well, We've been eating lettuce in pots for a couple weeks, but I think the heat is killing that off.
I'm trying to even imagine heat... Up here in the middle of Manitoba we still have frost warnings this week!
We have some of the more cold hardy things (like potatoes) planted, but the rest will still have to wait a bit. SHort, short growing season here, but we do what we can.
Your garden looks great.
Wow on your garden from last year (and this year too!) I am jealous! I would like nothing more than to plant a little garden. When we get a house, I definitely will.
I feel ya on the strawberries! We had to build a cage over ours. Actually, we used the portable chick yard. Lovely "secret"
