I guess I could just chuck in loads of fertilizer, but I would rather not.
I have 3 beds, on a rotational system.
Any advice on how I can have my cake and eat it much appreciated.

You could do worse than sow some chard, spinach, rocket and also some of the 'oriental' veg like mizuma, pak choi. These will give you fresh greens late into the year. With a cloche covering they will survive all but the harshest weather too. Its not too late for kohl rabi either, spring cabbage and then what about garlic in october/november (for big bulbs next summer)?
