Thanks for the tip.   We just moved into this house, so don't have enough of 
a history yet.   The agent was quite specific about the no garden, however.   
We do have some empty flowerbeds we are planning on planting in, and there 
are several fruit trees in the yard.   The reason the hoophouse was appealing 
is that there is a fairly large concrete patio I can use for that purpose.   
Lots of container gardening.

Prior to owning our home, we rented a home in Charleston.  It had a 
backyard that measured 35x55.  The landlord also did not want a garden.  
When I explained that I had in mind two 4x8 raised beds (wood) that 
would be built at our expense and kept neat, she relented.  We had been 
taking good care of her property, we paid on time and in general were 
great tenants.  She often remarked how much she liked our raised beds.  
When we moved out, she was going to plant perennial flowers in the beds 
and leave some room for the next tenant to have a garden of their own.  
Most landlords don't want the whole backyard tilled, but if you desire a 
raised bed and the landlord is reasonably open minded, that might work.  
Good luck.

Lisa
