It all depends on the types of veggies and flowers. In order to answer this question, you need to know how deep your plants need to be planted. You should get this information on the packaging.

Bulbs need to be planted deeper than seeds (typically 3-6 inches deep). You want to have some soil below that for root growth as well. If you're growing veggies like potatoes and carrots, you'll need even more space.In my opinion, I would figure out the deepest your plants will be planted (or in the case of potatoes, growing), and add about 4-6 inches to that, and that's the depth you need.
