At least you have those healthy looking seedlings.  Hope Mother Nature is nicer to you the rest of the season.  You have already had your share.

Someone had mentioned that in an earlier post, but I have had issues before all of the rains. I do need to add some nutrients though for the few plants I do have. Thanks for the reminder.

Update.

Everything seems to be growing very well. I have harvested turnip greens several times, some swiss chard and lettuce as well. I have already harvested about a dozen Jalapenos, one broccoli head , a cucumber and a couple of yellow squash. Tomato plants are loaded. Green beans and purple hull peas look amazing.

So lush! Love it -- and I like the 5-gallon bucket add-ons peeking out from underneath everything. I have a few of those, but they're on my porch instead of in my garden. Do you use them for specific deeper-rooted vegetables, or just as additional squares? (Or am I mis-seeing things and those are your water buckets?)

IT is just a green metal edging from Home Depot that I cut to fit in between the boxes.

All but one bucket have potatoes. The other has a mum that I kept from my Mothers funeral. I put it in that bucket until I could build a more permanent home for it. That was 2 years ago. LOL

Potatoes makes a lot of sense. Much easier to dump a bucket on a tarp than fishing around and potentially disturbing other squares. This year will be my first attempt at growing potatoes. I'll be trying the laundry basket method this year, and I'll try something else next year if that doesn't work.

That's a nice way to remember your mom. I have an aloe from my late grandmother, but it stays inside.

Could the cucumbers be overripe.  They look kind of big.

Judging by the size it looks like they may have stayed on the vine too long. At the end of the season, if it's an heirloom type and you want to save seeds, then you're supposed to leave the last one or two on the plant until it turns all yellow and it will, because I've done it. It will get huge. If the plant is especially prolific it's easy to miss them until they start to get overly ripe on the vine. When they stay on like that, the plant starts to cut back on production.
I'm basing this on not knowing what type you're growing, so just a guess.

Nice haul, kat!

Yeah, if the cukes are all the same variety, the yellow ones are just overripe.

Yup, over ripe cukes.  Use that all yellow one for seed saving if not hybrids.
Great harvest!
