Your garden is doing much better than mine. We have had a very cold and wet spring, again, so most of what I've sown outside failed.
Regarding garlic - I don't know when you have planted yours, but garlic needs a bit of frost to form the cloves. The leaves you can eat when they're young, but it's the scapes (i.e. the flower stems) that you want. They are a great addition to soups, stews, pesto etc.
Btw, do you know you can make pesto from pretty much everything?
I don't like basil much so make my pesto from things like spring onions, kale, spinach, lettuce, young turnip leaves or whatever I have available.

I am so sorry your garden is struggling. That would be so hard. I know a lot of people use grow lights. I would love to have them one day but this is the budget friendly way of having a garden. 😅
I planted my garlic back in November so they were in the ground all through winter and had a terrible taste. They never formed scapes and had started dying back. I debated leaving them in hopes that maybe they would bulb up next year but decided I would probably get better use of the space by planting g something else. The only thing I can think was the soil was too compact.
I just learned that about pesto last year and thought I would try something new….i failed miserably lol
