    Hi,

    I'm thinking of buying a small 2x4 lean to greenhouse just to raise seeds in and potted up when growing. I'm wondering where to place one, against my utility wall (north facing, shaded) or against my garage end wall in the corner (south west facing).

    Any advice please.

    Regards.

    I would put it on the south west facing wall. Although you will have to check the heat situation late spring before planting out it's the better of the choices. North facing will be cold and sunless in early spring and seedlings will become leggy looking for extra light.

      @Sheal Thanks for that. I should have known about seedlings looking for the light, dim-whit that I am;)
