I can definately sympathise , my Tomatoes were also looking good a while back but the weather here has wiped out any chance now of a succesfull crop of them.. completely swamped.

The peppers are doing ok. The green zucchini as given up as has the
acorn squash. I froze plenty of the zukes and still have some yellow
zukes. The critters got the only 2 cantaloupes that were on the
vines. Vines still seem to be ok.
The Roma and french green beans are doing well in the raised bed.
About 10 of the black soy beans germinated and an equal number
Cannellini.
The weeds seem to stay ahead of me. I can't stand to be out in the
90+ degree weather for very long and the fact that we were gone for
the first week in June hasn't helped.
Oh well, just hope the rest of the of the season is better. I am just
thankful that I am not dependent on the garden for my livelihood and
food.
