If this is a structure, I may be in trouble.

Well a "neighbor" blew me in to the Town building inspector. (I would think a "neighbor" would come over and talk to you if they had a problem, but I guess that's just me.) If my temporary greenhouse is a "structure," then I needed a building permit (the letter I received was ambivalent because the inspector had only seen the hoops and was unsure what I was up to). I will call on Monday and sort through the mess. Even though I was planning to take the greenhouse down soon anyway, I was also thinking I might put it back up for several weeks in the spring and/or maybe a few weeks in the fall, depending on the (lately very weird) weather. If I have to get a building permit each time, that will be a pain. And what about a trellis? I guess I'll have to button down the building inspector when I talk to him. The town's definition of structure seems ridiculously broad (might even include the bench the neighbor I think blew me in has in his front yard...bet he didn't bother getting a building permit...but that's just me being snarky).

One of the neighbors might be upset about my veggie garden.

Not really sure what to do. I've put an awful lot of sweat and manhours into getting my garden set up, but the dirt still hasn't arrived. Today a neighbor told me another neighbor seemed upset by it. I was planning to screen it from view as much as possible, but the plantings will only hide it from about JUne-Oct. I called the town and there are no regulations against having a veggie garden in your front yard, raised or not. I also checked before planning the garden and their are no regulations against a greenhouse either. In fact, they specifically state this is a "pro agriculture" community and greenhouses of any kind are allowed as long as they adhere to setback rules, which mine will. It will only be a temporary, hoop-style greenhouse up for the cool months (March-May and Oct-Nov...unless we get more 7' snowstorms in NOv., in which case I will have to take it down early). What would you do...continue with the garden or take it out? I'm going to try to make it look as nice as possible, but veggie gardens do get raggedy late in the summer. I will be sharing my harvest as much as possible.
