How does my garden grow and grow and grow

So far this year I have harvested broccoli, red potatoes, herbs, cherry tomatoes, roma tomatoes and regular tomatoes as well as yellow squash (never again there were too too many) and zucchini.  I tried to grow green onions but that didn't work.  I have also harvested my pumpkins.  Much to my surprise I am still growing things.

Although I did well with peppers last year, both green and jalapeño, they have been a problem this year.  The plants just didn't grow.  This may have been because of the wet and not all that hot early summer.  That is my theory now because suddenly I am harvesting green peppers and jalapeno's and the plants are still budding.

A jalapeño plant picked over but full of flowers.  

One of our prolific jalapeño plants.  
Emily gave me a raspberry plant in June for my birthday.  It had buds on it but I didn't get it in the ground right away so the buds fell off.  However, much to my surprise we are getting raspberries right now.  I wonder what kind of fresh raspberry recipes there are out there for a crop of 10 raspberries?

These berries are starting to turn red.  Prior to this they had looked brown so I thought  I had lost my chance for
raspberries.  
Raspberries just before I ate them right off the vine.
They were good.
Fortunately I think there are more coming.
