It's been a long few weeks of tearing out the garden. For me it's been a tough haul. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I could not keep up with maintaining it this summer, so the aftermath was this:
Rough, tough, and difficult to totally remove before winter. I'd like to post some pristine looking photos, but this is reality. I can't do everything, nor can my family. However, I am sticking to it.
"Biker Sally" is a bit slumped over after a somewhat good garden season. She is buried in foxtail and ragweed, but with daily diligence, taking rest days, and hard work, she will be dug out and put to bed.
It is taking me a lot longer than previous years. Achy muscles are now on rest-mode. After noon today that is. Rain is arriving.
There are green pepper plants in that mess. (Before)
Same area (in progress)
My sad looking pea fence (before).
Done! Still moving on through the garden.
The front of that area is where my potatoes were planted (before).
Done! Again...still moving on through the garden.
The very last of the potatoes were dug up.
Larger Tomato patch all done and ready for winter. I just have to get my pie pan and metal pole put away for next year.

Considering your unforeseen health issues this summer, it's no wonder your garden was a struggle. Next year will be a breeze for you after this one. Kudos to you for persevering on the clean-up. I know it can't be easy, but whatever you can get done now will make it all easier next spring. Hang in there, girl!
