I'm new to growing fruit and veg. I'm living with my parents and we just bought a new house. Previous owners were big gardeners but sadly due to the declining health and subsequent deaths the garden fell by the wayside. We are in the process of chopping, hacking and digging trying to get it sorted out!
We were very lucky as a greenhouse was left in the garden. We've emptied it out, hacked back the 2inch thick brambles that were very happily enconsed in there and concreted the floor. We have a 'veg' patch inbetween the double garage and the greenhouse (approx 15ft x 15ft), the greenhouse then another patch of land (approx 18ft x 15ft) then the grass and flower beds (approx 25ft x 35/40ft). Yeah, its a massive garden!
I've gotten alittle carried away and my greenhouse is now home to two tomato plants, 2 cucumber plants, 2 chilli plants, 11 sweet peas, i tray of lettuce, i tray of fennel, 2 small trays of radishs, one corgette plant and 26 sunflowers seedlings! I then subscribed to the mag and am receiving the 73 free plants including brocolli, more lettuce, beetroot, beans, cabbage and squash.
oh boy, is this going to be fun!!!

It sound like you have two good sized veg beds there, good luck for the season ahead .
