Hi Jenny & welcome. I'd just like to second everything that's been said above & say give it a go either in raised beds & containers or in the ground depending on how much digging you want to do. You could grow something overwinter in pots or a veg. bed such as autumn onion sets, garlic, turnips, spring greens, perpetual spinach or salad leaves maybe with just a little protection (cloche/fleece etc) for the more tender crops in the worst of the winter. Good luck & enjoy.
