I'll go ahead and spill the beans on my home design, its going to be a dugout, project codenamed "fag end", the digging is going really well, soil is softer than I expected at deep levels, as far as I know I'll be able to expand as large as I can waterproof it and as deep as I can keep going through this layer of clay with a mattock.
I'm debating whether to keep my garden above or below level. I'm going to have to fence it off with nettle or barbwire either way to keep critters out and for camouflage, but its going ot be way more visible if the bottom of it is above ground, but it will get way more sunlight that way, though the canopy above me isn't too thick. If I place it below ground the barrier will be at or just above ground level. For now I plan to plant potatoes and beans, with success I'll be adding sections for cucumbers and other vegetables that go well with this loamy soil.
