I have a huge problem with moss on my garden, it's in my flower borders and on my vegetable garden. How can i get rid of it.

You could try "Mosskill". You can find it in most G.C.s Just check the label to find where it is best used,
pansyface is right - address the shade and damp issues first. Keep the ground well worked with a hoe or a hand fork/trowel to keep the soil crumbly and loose. I have shady damp areas here and I just remove moss as and when necessary, mainly on paths.
I like it growing on rocks or round tree stumps in amongst the plants but I can see that it would be more of an issue in a veg plot. My concern would be - is it a suitable location for your veg to start with? How well does your veg grow? The drainage might need to be improved if moss finds it a good growing medium.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
