Keep harvesting the glut of vegetables, the more you pick runner beans and courgettes the more they produce. Keep an eye on tomatoes, stop outdoor tomatoes after three trusses.Shade tomatoes in the greenhouse, if the sun is very strong and water amply and regularly. Feed and train cucumbers.
Leave shallots to ripen in the sun, drawing soil back to expose them, then lift carefully when the leaves turn yellow. You can harvest garlic for storing as well.
Carrots can be sown for a good supply in autumn, and lettuces for a succession of supply.
