Ideas for what herbs and veg I can grow in raised beds in shade
Alpine strawberries do really well in partial shade, they actually prefer it to full sun. Gooseberries are worth a go too, they're one of the few fruit bushes that genuinely don't mind a shadier spot.

Today I moved the majority of my plants from 5.5 cm pots into 1 litre pots where they are supposed to stay till planting out. Will start bringing them into the greenhouse for a daytime. Hopefully from midApril they can stay there overnight. Going to be a very cold night here too today.

Mushroom compost
Yeah not sure why its alkaline, I assume they have added lime as most composted material, I always thought, ended up on the acid side.

I'd be very careful of the vinca as @CarolineL says. Whilst the v major is the worst, the v minor will also spread rapidly. Are you keeping all of the lawn shown in your photo ? If so, there isn't a lot of space left for plants. Either way, violets, ferns, spring bulbs may be worth considering.

Yes, that was really clever @Bluejayway , I hadn't seen that before. Certainly cheaper than using "pot feet".
