I was persuaded to move house last year in the middle of the bloomin growing season which saw me between 2 houses in April and May.....
This was a nightmare as the big shady rambling desperately neglected and slopey garden i was moving to was a replacement for one which had a greenhouse and all flower beds/veg patch received full sun all day....
I allowed myself to be persuaded to move as this house also had a greenhouse, plus a nice mature apple tree and a rasp bed.
I didnt use the GH last year as it had been left in a sorry state by the last tenant and was jammed full of junk....It has been cleared out, washed clean etc but i have started to notice it really doesnt get much sun, its shaded by the house and next door plus a mature holly tree for a good proportion of the day........it seems to get sun across half the front and half a long side for 3hrs or so in the morning, dappled light from around 2pm about half of it in full sun from 3.30pm which disappears later on at the moment around 5pm.......
I have only had a GH in full sun where the main issues were scorching/drying out etc now i know thats not going to be a problem but is this GH going to be worth it? i have Aubergines and Chillis to go in it plus Toms? The last people seemed to use it for storage
