My silly little deck garden is growing and producing like crazy! We've had several cucumbers with several more ready today, I made pesto, (we didn't love it
), I'm snipping chives and parsley into everything, my rosemary is lovely, both of my tomato plants (one roma, one cherry) are full-to-bursting (but not red yet) and my peppers....OHHHHH my bell peppers! 
I think the "containers" have served well with all the rain/flooding we've had this summer. I have one friend whose garden has drainage built in and her garden still sat wet for such a long stretch that it's not producing well.
Next year I'm adding some greens, garlic and onions, and oregano....I'll have a "pizza-and-salad" garden!
