There is no direct medieval equivalent of a "vegetable patch", which is a purely American English idea.
In England, a peasant cottage was built in its own very small plot of land (the toft), with a larger plot (the croft) behind this and joined to it. What people chose to grow on these two "home" areas was entirely up to personal choice - they might keep a dairy cow, hens or geese, or some pigs, or goats (for the milk), or they might have fruit trees, herbs, vegetables or use the croft entirely for corn (in the English sense: wheat, oats, barley, rye).
As well as the croft and toft, each peasant had a number of farming plots in strips of land, distributed around the neighbouring fields. These were used for growing corn, peas, field beans or other crops, while some might be left fallow, used to grow grass for hay, or used to graze sheep or other animals.
As well as cultivating the croft and toft and their own strips of land, each manorial peasant was required to work of the demesne lands for a part of each week - those strips belonging to the lord of the manor.
"Manor" is a very loose term referring to an area of land held by a knight or a senior churchman - and he might hold many of these manors in different parts of the country. A manor might include one, two, three or more villages, or none at all - and in some cases a village might be split between two or more manors.
The workforce would either live in the villages scattered around the manorial estate, or they would live in the complex around the manor house itself. There was no rule about where the workforce lived and every manorial estate was different.
Peasants lived in a village outside the manor.
The bailiff was appointed by the lord to collect rent from tenants on the manor. he supervised the services due to the lord from his tenants. he also represented the peasants to the lord. he helped oversee the peasants work, and managed the day-to-day profits and expenses of the manor
Peasants were bound to the manor. They farmed and did other work so that the knights would protect them from Viking raids and other invasions.
The manor system protects serfs and merchants, that live in manor. Knights allowed peasants to farm land on their large estates. In return the peasants had to give the knights food, goods or other payment.
A lord of the manor is the person who is in-charge of the manor. The manor is basically the plot of land which the king gives the lord in return for his loyalty. The lord and his lady run the manor and live in a castle on the manor. The manor also holds serfs, knights, priests, and bishops, though. This is because many manors in the medieval ages could hold up to 2,000 people!

Pretty much whatever the lord of the manor said they were.

The lord of a village or town would live in a manor house.
Nuns usually lived in convents, which had their own grounds and were not part of a manor or village
The medieval bailiff often resided in the manor house. These people were responsible for the running of the manor, the control of the peasants and any other details the lord of the manor assigned to them. Bailiffs sometimes came from the families of lesser nobility.
because there was a castle on every manor. lords and ladies live there and the also protect the manor because they are usually on the edge on the manor.
Nobles and peasants.
Peasants who were bound to a manor were known as serfs or villeins. They were required to work the land and pay dues to the lord of the manor in exchange for protection and the right to live on the land. Serfs were not free to leave the manor without the lord's permission.
