Lots of replies please, because we're really curious..
You have just 40'x20' (12m x 6m). A 5m polytunnel and a very small tool shed, what would you grow 🌱?
A minimum of 25% must be for food #flowers #pollinators #tomatoes #cucumbers #carrots #potatoes
.. and why?

I’d grow tomatoes for sustenance, lavender for serenity,
wildflowers for the pollinators that keep the world alive,
and potatoes—because resilience starts from the roots.”
Most of rest for soft fruit. High value and almost always comes in plastic containers.
Few Charlotte spuds. Freshly dug, butter & black pepper, heaven
Some salad leaves / lettuces
Def trellis, though.
I'm going to live vicariously thru your garden! :P
Food that I like:
Cut-and-come-again greens (chard and red russian kale). Spring onions.
Lots of herbs for me and my bunny.
A couple of blueberry bushes.
Why?........there is never enough purple in the world.

I recon that’d fit! Vertical growing.
I’d leave potatoes carrots and onion to the local farmer.
