Harvest and query

I lifted the garlic yesterday as it was laying over and looking ready. I didn't want to risk it getting wet with dew or rain. Pirate fixed a shelf back in the greenhouse so that we can still use the staging.

Further down the garden we have a mystery plant with small pink flowers.....

Please excuse the colours...that is borage just to the right, so that will give you a hint!

Any ideas?
