If I look out of the back bedroom window around late March/early April a greenhouse in a neighbours garden is already in full sun by about 8am, whereas my greenhouse is still in shade at 10am. When it is sunny they can get a good two extra hours of sunshine a day. It will also get far more winter sun than mine ever does. On the other hand it is more exposed to wind and is well away from buildings, so might have a higher heating bill.
The two greenhouses are 18 metres (60 feet) apart, but have wildy different microclimates. If I were to start growing my plants in it I'd have to start again from nearly zero and re-learn what would work best for the plants.

Re: A little help/advice
It seems obvious to point out but this forum is itself quite a useful knowledge resource. Searching this forum for "fungus" for example, provide some information as to how to combat fungal problems in seed germination. I guess using this information also avoids the same question being asked more than once.
