Hi Whitedragon! Welcome to our forum!

That is a great sized greenhouse. What are you planning to grow in there? The ground looks as if it might be tricky with it being on a slope.

As for having peacocks - wow! I wonder if they will eat the veggies?

So does that mean that you are going to lose the ground you have cleared Whitedragon? I'm not surprised you are not happy!

Whitedragon you don't need loads of ground to grow vegetables. That greenhouse is really big and you could have a container vegetable garden around it. Most vegetables can be grown in containers and potatoes are actually better if you grow them in buckets as you get lovely, clean potatoes that haven't been attacked by insects.
