I've managed to tuck garlic into 3 beds now, separating their cloves and poking them into deep, compost-amended soil. I've had no trouble growing garlic, and we've enjoying eating it. Perhaps I haven't grown giant heads, due to my parsimonious watering and fertilizing, but
last year's harvest was a bumper crop.I've used homegrown garlic to replant this year for the first time. It's fun to continue that cycle, although some of the cloves aren't as large as I'd like.

The asparagus has flourished through the growing season, too, and is looking robust and vigorous. After it goes dormant, I'm planning to consolidate two primary growing beds, to accommodate a couple of outliers that I stuck in place as an afterthought.
