The black things on your broad beans are probably black fly. this can be avoided another year by taking the tops off the plants when plenty of flowers have appeared. You can eat the tops so they are not wasted. If they are still at the top of the plants its not too late to take them off now, but you wouldn't want to eat them!
To replace nitrogen in the broccoli ground plant beans or peas next year. For now you can plant leeks -probably too late to sow them but you can buy young plants. You could still sow some salad crops, rocket, lettuce, beetroot. If you are concerned about nutrients this year just sprinkle some Growmore and rake it in before planting.
