    Could be a bit ambitious for you.
    More a Ziggy or Shiney scale I think

    As long as you buy in the plants you should be OK, although it's on the cusp so get it built! You can grow lots and lots but for ease and availability go for toms, chillis cucumbers and melons.

    Which floor style are you going for, solid or soil?

    Don't forget you will probably need to dig the soil out every year or so and replace it, to stop pest/disease build-up and nutrient deficiency.
