Do you have tomato plants there? You could grow other veg like carrots, beans etc. It doesn't have to be like an allotment though, you can add perennial plants as well as annual bedding plants. My soil is acidic so I have added a blueberry bush to my kitchen garden.

Ummmmmmm.......
How about puting something tall in the centre to create height and interest - like a sundial, or a big pot, or a little dwarf tree, or standard rose..... maybe ?
