It's quite important for gardening to know which aspect you have, although it's not the only factor, as buildings, trees and fences also create shade. Spend a bit of time watching how the sun tracks your garden. Narrow spaces can have their own micro climate too, and that can affect growth. Judging by your photo - the garden is west facing, but that's just a starting point. It's not bad as an aspect, but most of the plot will only get sun later on, and mostly at the far end and the right hand side, and the area nearest the house will be quite shady. Looking at what's around the plot, it certainly looks that way - lots of trees etc. Then decide what you actually want from the space. If you're a tenant, check with your landlord what is allowed first.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
