To see where the sun would shine at different times of the year I used http://sketchup.google.com/ to draw the garden and the house (fairly roughly, it was raining so I didn't go outside to measure) and followed the instructions here: http://www.builditsolar.com/References/SketchUp/SketchUpEx.htm to see where there would be the most sunshine for sun hungry plants. This was probably a bit much but it let me pretend to garden on a dark, wet night.
In principal I'm going to plant in 1m squares but I'll fill in gaps as I go, also, I haven't thought about what will grow when, I'll just write down what happens for next year.
The plan has a page all to its self here: The Plan
