I discovered a few things: in my attempt to limit more foliage growth, and diseases, I cut back on watering, and never saw any wilting. At closer inspection, I noticed some of the bigger fruit started to develop BER. I did also have to cut/pull various leaves and stems that definitely showed sickness, but still no spraying. I'll share another time a badly damaged plant for your help with ID.

For now, we'll keep it rosy and positive.

More greens than we can consume. The lettuce is spent but now we have this: a jungle of kale, co-habitating with the bush beans.

Greek chicoree. The seeds were about 7 years old, i didn't think they'd germinate, so I over-seeded. No worries, we'll start picking/thinning the young one for saladettes.

We picked, ate and vacuum-packed/froze a bunch of sugar snap peas over the weekend. This "mammoth" variety grew over 7ft tall, past the fence, before I had a chance to prop it up, then folded over. At the base are celery.
