The brassicas usually start going to seed in February, depending how sunny it is, probably all gone by April. The lettuce, chard and spinach (it's mostly Mikado, a bolt-resistant Asian variety) can last much longer but they'll all likely be out by May. The parsley and coriander I will hack down and freeze whenever they start going to seed. The garlic should be ready early/mid June, but because it's at the back of the borders I can plant stuff in front of it no problem.
There's some big staging which spans the whole of one side that I usually put back in sometime in February, but it's a real faff to attach and then remove again before peppers go in, so I'm looking to buy something foldable. There is a decent sized shelf high on the left hand side and a narrow shelf at the back, both not in the photo, which can hold quite a module trays.
I mostly need more space when the tomatoes and peppers are being ferried in and out until it's warm enough for them to stay in the greenhouse overnight. If I keep the borders mostly empty then they can just go on the ground. I will likely try to get a quick crop of radish and turnips before it gets too hot.
