I don't mind the long replies. I also am long winded with responses sometimes :D

I hope you're able to get the place. It sounds like a good arrangement with a good amount of privacy.

The garden sounds like it was pretty nice. So much of that stuff I've never grown before myself. I had my first outdoor garden this year and fate had it that it couldn't just be mine because the neighbors insisted it was their plans too and we were to do it together, only to have them completely take it over and dictate how everything goes while dismissing my suggestions for certain things. So, I think I'll just stick with growing things in tents for now :/
