Well I'm not the best person to answer this as every year I think I'm only going to grow 4 toms in there but manage to cram about a dozen in there lol - what type of veggies are you planning on growing as they each take up different amounts of space

In my 8 x 6 - I grow 5 toms in the beds down each side and another 2, in pots, in the gap between the beds at the end

I have 6 downeach side and a couple at the end. 12 - 14 should be ok but that give a lot of tomatoes. In addition to toms, you may want to grow cucumbers/ abergines or other crops that benefit from a bit of heatComment

This year it was 2 sweet peppers, 10 various toms and 4 cumbers. Gets crowded sometimes.

i am planning to grow tomatoes only in a glass greenhouse 8x6 then a second (same size) will have chillis and peppers
i then plan on have a third polycarb 10x6/8 with cucumbers melon and whatever else i find i can get into it
i figure that this will give me alot of produce and maybe earlier/later crops in the year ie potted potatoes or salads well whatever really
that will leave me 7 decent size beds for outdoor growingIn the following link you can follow my recent progress on the plot

I only had 10 toms in mine and they got terrible botrytis, this year - how come you lot didn't with your crowded g/houses ?Comment

One of my 6x8 greenhouses had 18 tomato plants and 2 cucumbers and a vine cutting in it and the other had a grapevine, 12 pimientos de padrone, 12 ordinary peppers and 3 big tubs of sweet potatoes. The photos were taken in July so as you can imagine it got a bit tight in there later in the season. (I've got 2 more greenhouses for next year)Comment

Count the panes of glass in the photos and reckon on 2' for each pane. That'll give you some idea of GH size.
