I spent the early afternoon cleaning up the beds in front and harvesting the garlic, shallots, and what’s left of the fava beans. We got loads of shallots again, but I’m not sure that I planted quite as much garlic this year, so I hope we have as much as last year (we’re just finishing it right now). The oregano plant in the front bed is totally out of control and I had to free the alliums from its overeager seedlings. I also pulled up what was left of the fennel and leeks — they were much too big to harvest and were crowding out the potential winter squash. (We also have fennel offspring growing in the gravel next to the raised beds, so we won’t go without.)
