Deck Garden Progress

The summer has been good and bad for the deck container garden.  Right now things are looking pretty good, except for the tomatoes.  The zucchini bit the dust a couple weeks ago.  The tomato does not seem like it will produce fruit.

Am not sure if this video will work but...here is the current garden situation.

We have had lots of basil for pesto plus spearmint to put in lemonade.  Really so delicious that way.

So the question is: why are the plants so happy now?  We have just had a week with LOTS of rain, and still warm temperatures.  I think this proves that I was not watering them enough...
