You'd be surprised what you can grow in a GH/PT Sheps. Beans, Beetroot, PSB, onions, lettuce, Sw corn and countless other things. You just need one big enough or plant into moveable containers.
I'm not sure it's worth growing carrots in there Lyn, but admittedly i've never tried it. They can be grown outside in Summer then left in the ground to harvest all Winter so unsure what a GH brings to the party.
We came back from Norfolk on 2nd May, after OH's hip replacement end of Feb. OH lives in UK, I live in France. My vegetable garden is in France, can be complicated. We ate the rest of the spinach beet and the last few Brussels sprouts then I dug them up. Garden is seeded and planted but I never know whether we will be here or if the handy man has watered it enough. So far, concerning this year's crops, we have had 2 bowls of strawberries each.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
We grow strawberries @Sheps in the polytunnel as outside in years gone by the badger just loved taking all the fruit (and yes it was the badger). We also grow carrots @MikeOxgreen which are sown at intervals and they are great harvest. Pak choi and kohl rabi are also 2 others among other ones that we grow in the polytunnel. However never sown greens @Lyn but have some chinese cabbage that we may give a go this year.
Rhubarb. I’ve got 4 of this type, I’m going to take out all the others that I grew from seed years ago, Glaskin's Perpetual, and just keep this instead. I haven’t got a clue what it’s called, I bought a crown from Morrisons years ago and it’s taken off from there.
Far too many in the bed for any of it to do really well.

Strawberries going for the 2nd time in the GH.
They look gorgeous by the way.

So far mostly salad and raddish, some overwintered kale and broad beans that I couldn't resist picking very young.
