Propagation, overwintering and hardening off greenhouse: location
Hi,
I've been given an exceptionally lovely (and, after a bit of research, apparently very expensive) greenhouse for free. I also already have a weatherbeaten and condemned shed on paving slabs, which would make an ideal base... except that they are under two enormous leylandii - so enormous that there is no way they're coming down without significant financial outlay that I can't afford. Given that I also have an allotment with a greenhouse (and no more room there for another one), my current thoughts are to use the new one at home almost exclusively for propagation, overwintering, and hardening things off.
Do I:
A) Put the greenhouse under the leylandii, limiting what I can use it for but saving myself time, money, and using an otherwise pretty much unusable space;
A) Broach the subject of annexing a corner of the west-facing patio with the (non-gardener) other half?
I think I know what they answer is (B), but I really don't relish that discussion so if anyone thinks option A is a goer then I'd be really interested!

We got them cut down,and its made a lot of difference to space and light. The stumps were left,but after two years they are now rotting down. It would help to know of someone who would like the logs for a woodburner,which was where ours ended up. Definately worth a bit of a lay out to get rid.
It depends on how strongly you and yours value eating your own home grown vegetables. I would get rid of the trees but I am addicted to my garden and love eating veg. I have grown. Childish perhaps but it doesn't take much to make me happy.
