    What's on the other side of the hedge? Are folks likely to lean over & take/damage your crops. Just wondered if all your beds would be best against the house with a path between the house & the beds but it all depends how much sunlight that wall gets.

      It's not ideal as it is: the hedge is going to take light & water from your bed unless you leave a foot or two of space between a hedge and crops.

      Really, your veg needs full sun, not any shade at all

      Hedges aren't all bad though, they provide protection from winds (much better than any fence can), and nesting for wild birds

        I wouldn't remove the hedge straight away, just take it down to maybe 3 or 4 foot then see how it looks, if you are still not happy with it, then you can take it out.
