Seasonal glut recipes for UK gardeners

Every UK kitchen garden has the same problem in August: too much of one thing, all at once. Twenty courgettes a week, a wall of tomatoes ripening in three days, a tree of plums hitting the ground faster than you can pick them. This is the good problem.

This hub gathers every glut-management guide on the site: the preserving wheel for each surplus crop, the recipes that actually use volume, and the freezer plans that turn August abundance into November dinners.
