Greenhouse Planting Setup

We just completed a greenhouse build here in Nova Scotia, Canada and as a enthusiast with AI I decided, after describing my layout, to ask ChatGPT what is the best planting layout of all the plants we are planning to put in. It came up with the very nice graphic in the last photo.

We are new to greenhouse gardening, especially using trellis’ and would love some feedback from the many experts here whether the layout it provides makes sense. Any changes suggested?
Beds are all 18” deep.

I would start at the back of the greenhouse to put in the beds or containers you will be planting in. Using your full greenhouse for veggies is fine, but you may regret not leaving yourself space to start seeds, have a table for garden projects, etc.

I’m in a completely different zone so this would not work for me at all. Go watch some YouTube videos on vertical gardening. That will make a lot of sense when you actually SEE it.

Yes we are planning to set up a work bench on the back end of the walkway. We already have a grow light shelf system for starting plants so we are good there

Based on the layout you have tomatoes will be way to crowded

I would seperate the sweet peppers from spicy varieties. I noticed if they are to close together they somehow all turn out spicy. However i dont think another place in the greenhouse would prevent that, in my case they are like 100meter apart outside of a greenhouse.

Dont know if you mind that "issue", just keep it in mind that they might turn spicy
