There is a programme currently on TV about growing your own veg and it is
claimed that a plot 3 metres (10 feet) square can provide you with veg all
years round.
Is that really possible?

I have several garden wider than 1m and longer than 3 m (ie, each more than
3m square).

There is a confusion here between:

3 metres square
and
3 square metres.

The former means a square of side 3 metres.
Such a square has an area of 9 square metres.
