Some brilliant tips here

You said, "lettuce know" Haha!

I gave you a thumbs up to great tips on how to grow in shade areas

enjoyed your video iam glad to know that you can grow salad lettuce and other kinds of lettuce in shaded areas thanks for the tip

Planning to next year utilize part of my yard that is shaded, very helpful indeed. Thank you!

Found it. Thanks

We had a huge success with a garden that gets morning sun but starts to shade over after lunchtime. Gorgeous lettuces (butter and a lovely bitter red looseleaf) grew larger than I'd ever seen and didn't start to bolt until late June - and we live in a very hot climate. Chioggia beets did very well, as did carrots, baby lettuces, and new blackberry and strawberry plants that shipped live and needed to harden off a bit. Baby pak choy was doing well but we lost to ravenous ants. Will try them again now that we have our hungry friends under control as they can be harvested from seed in about 21 days!

I live in North East Texas lots of trees and lots of heat, I find that many of my herbs and mints really do well in partial shade and most of the leafy vegetables do pretty well in shade as well . I do mostly container gardening because of bad knees I plant cucumbers in pots I put tomato cage down in the soil in the pot plant cucumbers at the supports in the ground and grow radishes in the middle works great!

Thanks, very helpful.
I used your tips & am now growing a leaf lettuce & a large leaf heat hardy spinach in planter boxes made from plastic toddlers wading pools suitably drained with bored holes in total shade but with a white backdrop. The sunshine ends at the edge of the pools.
This was especially beneficial growing both in 90 degree plus weather in Louisiana.

I have a raised bed against the north side of my house which is almost always in the shade. For several years in a row, I have successfully grown a variety of greens and lettuces there. The kale, collards, romaine lettuce, and swiss chard especially get huge there and by the end of the summer I have to resort to feeding the extra greenery to my chickens. And this bed only gets the weak early morning light and the weak evening sunlight. So I totally agree that greens and lettuce are perfect for growing in the shade. :)

Your videos are so helpful! I'm 13 and have a small patch of my parent's garden...In the shade! This video is very factual and was so helpful in the process of solving my problem.

The only things I've been able to grow in real heavy shade is sorrel. Going to try miner's lettuce too.

I am old and can't bend over very well. SO, to plant seeda like corn in a row. I use a 3 foot to 4 foot piece of PVC pipe where I can place the tube where i want to place the seed in the grown. and drop the sedd down the pipe, exactly the right spacing and only one seed at a time.

I've recently picked up a couple of bushes called Honeyberry which produce a fruit somewhat like blueberries; similar in flavor, but a bit more elongated in shape I suppose? They're not in the ground yet, but the vendor I purchased them from stated that they do well in, and prefer, part shade. They are new to me and am not sure about all the details on the variety but since full sun space is at a premium in my garden, I wanted to give these a try. HTH!

Some great tip, Thanks !

Great info, Thanks! But I thought you would be talking about 'shade' not part shade, morning shade or afternoon shade. I have full shade. What to do about that? :)

Lemon balm grows beautifully in the shade! Mine gets about 3 hours of sun in the evening only and it is beautiful.

My tomatoes aren't growing at all. I used to have a garden with bins. Now I live in an apartment with a porch. I transplanted them into pots and they're not making any progress. Perhaps too much sunlight? Thanks for the helpful hints

Hello. I love your videos. They're very usefull. I've a question: Is it possible to grow parsley, carrots and radish in shady areas? Thank you. Have a nice weekend!

Just what I needed to know! thanks!
