Greens (mostly), also first potatoes

Yesterday afternoon we went to the plot and picked what there was to pick.  We picked lots and lots of beans.  
We picked some green onions. 
We picked about several zucchinis.
I scrabbled around in the dirt underneath some of the potato plants and got a few potatoes out.  They're bigger than I would expect.  I was hoping for little baby new potatoes, but already they are big.  Oh well.  They were scrumptious.
We didn't pick any tomatoes, but I continue to hold out hope that eventually they will turn into edible fruits.  
I keep showing pictures of the produce and little pictures of the fruit on the vine.  In the interests of full disclosure, this is what it really looks like:
It's marvelously overgrown.  It's mostly the zucchini's fault.  Here we see a few leaves from the zukes coming through where the potatoes are, but between the zucchini and the potato is a whole row of struggling beans!  AND the garlic was originally in that bit, too.  It's wonderful, delicious chaos.
