Basements! I've built a lot of 2x4 plus plywood shelving in the past to avoid hanging shelving on walls. My current shop has shelves high enough to put 5 gallon buckets under the shelf. Then shelves tall enough for bins and/or extra tall gallon containers. Part of the shelving is built to take standard size restaurant bus bins. I find them particularly useful to put recycled plastic containers full of staples, screws, fencing parts and so on. I have a chainsaw bin and a weed whacker bin.
Garlic! I've harvested mine for the year and am very happy with it. Even the late planted stuff did well.
Give Mara a pat for me. Good thinking on the bigger bed.
