Thanks for the photos Seegull and I reckon there was still a little in the paths plus perhaps a few roots in some beds.
To be 100% rid of perennial weeds like this, utter dedication (!) is required initially, to remove any new leaves before they can feed the roots.
The grass in your photos is very healthy and reestablishing, so I would cardboard after clearing your crops.
It’s still a lot easier than digging!
