Allotment Holders - free compost

(allotment, compost, council, free)
Phone up your local council and ask for some free compost to be delivered to your site. Most councils will provide this service to paying allotment holders and, if you are lucky, you could have a delivery to your site by the end of the week.

Beans

If you plant in mid- to late spring, beans continue to set through most of the summer if you keep picking them. For best flavor, pick them when they are thinner than a pencil.

For variety, harvest some immature, or baby, beans and add them to salads. They have a slightly different flavor when they're young.

Broccoli

Don't wait for the broccoli in your garden to get as big as the ones you see at the grocery store to pick them; home-grown plants rarely reach that size. Cut the primary crown (where the individual heads come together) when it's about 4 inches across.

Give your broccoli an extra dose of plant food and a crop of new flower heads will start to form where the leaves join the main stem.
