Since you’re using a space that did not produce this year, it might be a good idea to get a soil test. That will give you a clear picture of what your soil might need before you try planting more crops. Depending on where you live, you can certainly plant seeds in late summer for a fall crop and can most definitely plant garlic for next year.
Both will benefit from mixing in a granular fertilizer into the soil before planting. Depending on what you plan to grow, just remember that your plants could have other fertilizer requirements as they mature.
