Arugula 45"3" x 7"this is a self-perennializing annual variety given to me by a friend. gets tough quick.
Comfrey
 Bocking 14
71' 11"1' 11" x 1' 11"any comfrey you find should be Bocking 14, it does not spread aggressively like other comfreys, but it does persist aggressivey
Comfrey 31' 11"1' 11" x 1' 11" 
Jerusalem Artichoke
 Dwarf Sunray
611"11" x 11"this is the bed that is being contained by the political signs. Sunchokes are notoriously aggressive and persistent. We dug them up, but I would be very surprised if we did not miss some that persist. I would leave the barriers in until you were confident that every bit of root was gone, or leave them in permanently and refill the bed with sunchokes.
Mint 217"5" x 9" 
Onion (Perennial) 785"5" x 5"These are Egyptian, or walking onions
