Can't you swat your neighbours greenhouse? They even have two!

Build a conservatory that has a sunny aspect
Much lower humidity than a greenhouse, and cheaper to heat because it gets borrowed heat from the house.
And in chilly weather, there's no need to don thermals before visiting your plants
We put up our conservatory in 2001, for use by people... then I caught the C&S bug, and now it's full of plants!

Unfortunately I've discovered that you can get some really awesome plants on eBay if you know where to look, and my collection is starting to get enourmous. Soon the PC will be moved downstairs in winter to make room
I wish I could steal my neighbours greenhouses, as far as I know all they use them for is growing tomatoes, but sadly it is not to be

You can get a greenhouse on ebay for hardly any money. I got a 6X8, with paving stones and a base for less than £100.
