I got up on my step-ladder for this shot:

Except for the items in the "salad box," and the potatoes, I was very late getting most of the garden planted this year.  I think, however, that most of my plants will catch up with those planted earlier by others.  A late last frost and unseasonably cool nights have slowed a lot of plants down.  It is starting to warm up now, and we have had some good rains.  Actually, I am a little frustrated because the garden is so wet that I can't do much in there right now.  There are weeds and bugs that need to be dealt with!

Some may have noticed that I use a lot of structures in my garden -- the salad box, tomato fences (and stakes), pole bean supports, and cucumber trellises.  This is to encourage vertical growth and save room for stuff like corn, potatoes, and cabbage, which take up a lot of real estate.  It is little too early to draw conclusions, but the tomato fence looks promising:

I am not as confident about the cuke trellises, though.  Cukes seem to have a mind of their own and in the past I have had trouble training them to a trellis.  I keep trying, though.

The potato plants are really getting big.  Makes you wonder what is happening down below.

Note that there is an apparent gap in the row on the left.  Actually, there are plants there, but they seem stunted.  I have no idea why.  They don't seem diseased, just small.  Weird.  Well, this is my first experience with growing potatoes.  It should be a learning experience.
