I just wanted some input on an idea. I have no room in my yard for a greenhouse. I mostly need one in the spring to start things-I have a bunch of coop plants coming that need to grow a bit before being put out and stuff like that. The people across the street from us have a greenhouse that they have never used in the 6 years that we've lived in our house. The gal who lives there inheirited the house from her folks-they were avid gardeners (I knew them casually-her mom was my son's teacher many years ago) but I have never even talked to her. So, here is this greenhouse-I would estimate about 8x12 just sitting empty. It is an attached lean-to but there is an outside door. I can see dead plants and stuff kind of strewn about inside. Would it be weird if I asked her if she wanted to rent me the greenhouse? How much do you think would be reasonable if I didn't use her electricity or water? I was thinking $50/mo? Then, if things worked out, would it be reasonable to get some type of kerosine heater so that I could keep a few things in it over the winter (keep it at about 40 degrees or so) but not use her utilities? It just kills me every year to see that empty greenhouse not more than 75 feet away from my livingroom window. Anyway, I'm open to opinions-if you all think it's not too weird, I'll go talk to her next week and see if we can arrange something.
Thanks!
Deb
