Yeah I grow in the beds. I have another homemade greenhouse that I grow in large pots, 33litre ones. They need watered every day if it's hot!
I've never changed the soil, I do add a couple of inches of compost a year to keep it in good health, which is more than I add on outside beds. I also grow salads in there once the toms come out. Sow them in small pots or modules at the start of September to plant out whenever the toms come out, usually end of september or start of October for me. Then you can enjoy winter salads and herbs like coriander and chervil and it can be really productive in march and April, before you can pick outside salads. Oh also i grow garlic in them, pick an early variety and they can be pulled out start of June before the toms have really taken off.
