NOt on purpose...my calabrese head are max 2 inches wide. And that was when the flowers were about to open so I picked them. what can I do to make them bigger? Only one has formed its head so far. I didn't put any manure or anything like that in the bed. Just forked in a bit of compost. But the ground hasn't had anything other than grass on it for about 10 years at least so I thought they'd be ok. My courgettes also appeared to have not grown much at all since I put them in the ground in early May. 
Oh and how do I know when the Broad beans are ready? They're got huge long pods but they feel empty. I found some blackfly on the sacrificial nasturtiums growing in the bed with them so I'm panicking a bit now. Should I pinch the tops off the bean plants?
