    Welcome to the Forum, jnj
    Many of us grow in our gardens so there are lots of people here to advise you.
    My questions are:-
    Are the greenhouses and shed in position now?
    What do you grow in your garden now? Any fruit trees/bushes?
    What do you want to grow?

    Photos always help

      Welcome!

      Have you looked into square foot growing? I reckon with careful planning and intensive growing, it should be doable! It depends on what your set up is, and what you want to grow though.

      And yep, pictures always help!

      PS, adding your location can also help for getting more accurate advice, if you're in Cornwall conditions are a bit different to the Shetlands...

        Hello & welcome. Anything is possible. Without seeing your garden & assuming your plot is rectangular you could fit your GH's, Shed & 9 6x4ft beds. Obviously you may want to do away with a bed & have a compost bin.........it all personal choice.

        Here's a quick example........each small square is 1 sq ft:
