BEFORE and AFTER pics!  Each of the beds needs to be cleared of all the dead plant debris and prepared for our fall planting of garlic.  I am adding 3 inches of mushroom compost to each bed.  Couldn't bring myself to rip out the blooms just yet....but when we plant the garlic, we'll switch out the marigolds for some bulbs that will bloom in the spring!
