I’ll be planting most of the same plants - although I’ve given up on Fava beans even though they grow so well here in Richmond, BC and I love them. Arthritis means they are too much work to shell.
I now make sure I have room in the garden for plants that give me winter veg. Lots of kale and leeks still in the garden today. Cranberry drying beans in the jar, lots of veg in the freezer and a variety of canned fruit and salsas.
Gardening definitely requires more organization than before.
Your garden sounds beautiful! We grew Cranberry beans for the first time last year and they went to a local non-profit for their meal service. Such beautiful food! Favas are definitely a bit more work. I mostly grow them as a cover crop but we enjoy a few early in the summer. Happy gardening!

Wise words, Kimberley! Prioritizing like this makes all the difference.
