Lucky you! Due to the THREE MONTHS of nearly constant rain in my region, mine has completely gone to waste... vegetables started to rot directly on the plant! :(

I should seriously think about it... this place is becoming a swamp!
Not even my 80 years old neighbour could remember such a cold and rainy summer.

At 80 years old I'd be lucky to remember to put clothes on...

I am so sorry, that is terrible. So much hard work for nothing :( .that happened to me a few years ago, the plants rotted on the vine for me too. and then the mosquitoes ate me alive when I tried to salvage what I could.
Sundried tomatoes. After drying them you can use them directly, or pickle them!
And you can sun-dry the chilli to get home-made chilli flakes. Or pickle the chilli!
Crispy fried okra is a good healthier replacement for potato crisps.
Have you considered jarring (rather than canning) tomato sauce for use during the winter?

Another idea just occurred to me: smoothies!

I don't like raw vegetables on their own very much, so I used to throw them into a blender and make a smoothie. That way I could consume half a kilo of vegetables in two minutes, which also makes for a very healthy meal. A single banana or apple will completely mask any taste of vegetables you may not like.
If you know anyone with chickens trade them for some eggs.

If you have the patience to care for them chickens are a pretty good deal. They eat all the weeds in the yard.
Use up some of that okra and tomato by making bhini masala.
Make some tzaziki sauce with some of the cucumber to have with tomato and lettuce and meat on pita.
Make some salsa with tomato to serve on potato with lettuce (and other stuff), making taco-potato.
Potatoes and beans (and really all of it) can make a nice shepherd's pie.

My garden has gone crazy and produced a ton (tonne :) ) of food so far, and the season is not near done. I have canned, made sauces, frozen a lot, but I would like some suggestions with what to do with the never ending supply of vegetables.
*snip*
There are some good suggestions here, and ultimately only you know what is the best course of action. My suggestion would be 'all of the above'. As one of my mentors wrote to me in a moment of indecision and crisis: "immerse yourself in creative service to others, the world, with skill intensely so that it hurts and then multiply it till you go through the pain no matter what.. and it becomes a joyful experience." It seems that your skill with nurturing plants is one of your services of creation. Share it, look within, and do what feels right to you :)

Yeah, plums and cherries are bursting with water and rotting directly on our trees here too. Crappy summer.
