Order EPIC raised beds for your garden: growepic.co/3gDePto When we think of vegetable gardening, we're often convinced that FULL SUN is the only way we'll be successful. This couldn't be more wrong! There are plenty of shade friendly plants that will thrive in 2-5 hours of sun.
On top of that, there are some plants that won't LOVE being in shade, but will TOLERATE it, which allows you to squeeze out even more harvests from spaces you might typically ignore in your garden.

Another thing you do is for the elderly people like me.I am in my mid seventies.Hate to admit it but loneliness is the burden many of us have.I live in the country and no close neighbors, I mean like not many people to share things with. At my age I guess I have forgotten more than most folks know. Your channel is a nice place where people like to share there gardening.My Daddy used to show me all his tricks. So in his memory I will share one of them for you all to try.He used to grow watermellons every year and a few he use to feed them a watery sugar syrups flavored with stawberry and vanilla sometimes by threading a heavy mop string right thru the vine about 6 inches from the mellon.The mellon would drink up the flavor.Dad used to get a real kick out of people asking him where he got the strawberry flavored water mellons from. SORRY Dad! It is time to pass the secret on now.

I'm trying out sweet potatoes this year. I've had good luck with starting from seed and fertilizing with worm castings from my kitchen worm bin.

Living inland in San Fernando Valley, Ca., it gets quite hot/dry during the 'traditional' growing season. Consistently over 100°, up to 115° for long periods. To avoid heat killing catastrophes from late May up to November, I built my raised bed under the shade of my huge Mexican Ash Tree. Despite careful watering and branch trimming, I was caught between a "rock and a hard place" in this case, not enough hours of direct sun and still too hot. My garden struggled all season. Flowers dropped. Lots of tomato greenery but few tomatoes despite hand pollinating. Chard was flimsy, etc. Low and behold, once the leaves fell off my deciduous tree, giving more sun, and the weather was cooler, more moisture/rain, vegetables started taking off in the middle of winter. I finally got a good continuous crop of tomatoes, the Swiss chard suddenly grew huge, the orange bell peppers produced beautifully, basil thrived. All of these did poorly with summer heat. Now, my plan is to start seedlings late summer with planting seedlings in October my growing season starting in the fall throughout winter and spring. This shift is a surprise, having grown up in New York. This is the true reality. Shade is not enough when the temperatures are so high. Even though the days are short, fall/winter/spring is my growing season. Thanks for your tips, love your vids
@raginghaggis5112
@raginghaggis5112 2 года назад
Yes, Devorah I am starting to realise that this seasonal planting process is so highly dependent on where you actually live. I live in Sydney Australia where temperatures can get very high in summer and not too cold in winter. To add to problem, part of my garden is more like a rain forest micro climate. This year I'm trying something new, planting in winter. So far my coriander (cilantro) seedlings are looking stronger than usual, ie not thin and bolting. Will be starting other planting soon. It's all trial and error. Direct sun too strong, and other areas too shady. Oh well we keep learning 😊😊😊

I've been growing oregano in a flowering pot for over a year. I live in the PNW and we moved just before the winter to our new home. I was able to leave it outside even though the temps dropped considerably. I just trimmed it down taking all the withered leaves off, and brought my baby inside upon the first snow. I was worried that it wouldn't survive, but I recently had to cut it down again. I have a garden window in the east facing part of my home. It was in that window for weeks. I recently put it outside again in the shade under an awning, to protect it from all the rain, because it seemed like it needed to be outside again. Coincidentally, I planted some strawberries in a bin container that's placed next to the oregano. Both are doing well currently, even though it is colder than I would like. My thing has been, since I've been gardening, is getting a feel for my plants and being able to read them, especially upon the season changing and erratic weather in my area. But yeah, oregano can do quite well in the shade as well.

You can also grow mushrooms in the shade. Particularly, thats a great way to use full shade (which this video doesnt cover).

@plips71755

Usually mushrooms are grown on old logs, around base of trees, on logs that have broken down to a certain point. You can buy inoculated logs and follow instructions. They may offer a inoculated package that you can spread in a suitable space. I don’t find them to be particularly easy - if they dry up that May be it. I like to place in a wooded earthy section in an area that holds moisture but doesn’t flood or rots them. Spread straw, etc and immediately inoculate. Don’t let wild get started cause they will. A friend grew them commercially. The kits are fairly simple but like anything, follow directions and keep up with them. I did them in basement, even hung inoculated log in closet but won’t do it again - didn’t like the earthy smell of rotting wood inside the house. Today they are doing some bags I believe - don’t like mushrooms that much. Simpler to just find a mushroom grower and buy from them at farmers market. PA is big mushroom country around near the Longwood gardens and Winterthur gardens - that area. They use to call themselves the capital of mushrooms. I will tell you I really liked fresh button mushroom - the difference in taste is super like most just harvested anything. Mushrooms that just pop up in the lawn can be highly poisonous. Unless you are trained to know all the different types don’t use those.

The cherry tomatoes are insanely abundant! But just for fun, I plant a few early corn seeds just because they are elegant additions to my garden and give me extreme joy to watch them cycle through their lifespan. To my surprise, I always harvest one to two ears per stalk, although I am reluctant to harvest them because they are the guardians of my garden.

Oregano also seems to be super tough. It's sort of survival of the fittest around here, sometimes things don't get watered or pruned exactly on schedule. If it's too fussy I let it die and replace.

What about edible ornamentals? Young tightly curled Hosta shoots can be prepared as you would asparagus. I've found that they are g good way to curb back a plant that is getting a bit larger than you would like but you don't have someone that wants the division at the moment. A friend of mine grills them and serves them cold with a thinned mayonnaise that is flavored like hollandaise.

In 2020 I tried Glacier tomatoes and had great success with them in my shady gardens in the forest. In 2021 year I followed more of your cold-tomato advice and had good results with Sasha Altai, St. Pierre, Russian Red and Moskvitch among others (note -- some of these are very indeterminate, but successful nevertheless). Thanks for the tip! I'm also finding that a lot of medium-sized peppers do just fine in part shade (not Bell Peppers or other huge ones). In fact over the years peppers have been my most reliable crop. For some reason Spinach, Chard, and Beets just never work for me -- the only reliable greens that have been reliable are chenopods like huauzontle and lambs quarters. Cilantro and Basil have also worked well for me, as well as both bush and climbing beans, peas, and tomatillos.

Thanks for sharing this! One thing to remember is that perennial veg, if you can grow them where you are, also require less sun, are less work and require less compost. eg. My Canna Edulis - a potato substitute - went from 4 corms this season to at least 40 and I didn't water them much at all. I have a lovely perennial vegetable patch. Mostly because I have too much to do to worry about cycling garden beds etc. and partly because, these days peoples veg patches are being raided by people in the night. Mine looks ornamental, so no one bothers with mine.

Thanks for the tips about endives! As a Belgian abroad, I miss my Belgian endives, which are rarely homegrown. I've always been told the compact white vegetable is the same as the greener lettuce like crop, but the white compact thing is grown in the dark, often in cellars (in wooden crates), and the green crop is left to grow exposed outdoors. Always have been intimidated to grow it but might try this fall, in a bag on my balcony. If I find the seeds, they are rare to find here. Would love to see a video on the specifics of growing these veg, and thanks for the shout out about their taste! Even most Belgians don't like Belgian endives, but it tastes great braised: much more tasty than spinach and pairs well with salty, umami or 'heavy' things (like halloumi). The white crop is lovely like this: chop in half, remove core, let it caramelise in butter really well, splash of water, turn heat down and let it soften for a while, add nutmeg: and it gets totally sweet, not bitter: you will not find it as nice as this in a restaurant, and it is the perfect food for when you're recovering from illness and you're body doesn't feel like eating anything. Honestly!!!

Greetings from Germany, we have a pretty cold and rainy climate where I live for at least 8 month of the year. So it gives me a pretty short vegetation period. And on top of this I have a pretty shady garden (north facing) with lots of shade-giving treas. Nevertheless I created last year a raised bed right under the treas with almost no sun and tried to find out if it is working. I planted a special kind of cabbage, a so called eternal cabbage, which can achieve 10 years of age and you only collect the oldest leaves of, like with chard. And it works fantastic 😊😊😊. It is thriving. In the same bed I grow garlic veeerrrryy slowly but great and lamb's lettuce. This year I will experiment with zucchini and different kinds of squash in another bed under the treas. Until now it's developing quite good, considered that we still have maximum 10°C end of may 🙈. Thanks for your great tips. I did find your videos only recently and now I am looking each and every one of it😊. Have a blessed day. Sonja

This is going to help me for this year. I decided last year when summer was changing to fall that I would convert my entire backyard into a garden. I ripped out all of the grass and weeds, set up my compost, annd mapped out the yards sunlight (with sticks and string) throughout the day to get the different degrees of sunlight. (This house is shaped like an L where the empty box of the L is the "back yard") between the house itself and the trees at the back, I clocked hourly what portions of the yard was in direct sunlight - so I know by the marking what section of the yard receives sunlight for the whole day vs the deadzone. So yay time to get my notebook out and learn what I can plant in the deadzonnnne.

@@mildredwilkins5781 Forty five years ago, I thought up using cardboard to smother the grass and weeds growing in the area I wanted to turn into a flower bed. I’ve been doing it ever since. I use it around plants and cover it with mulch. It helps retain moisture in our hot climate during the summer and protect roots during the cold winters. It’s getting harder to get cardboard because many places are recycling for which I am grateful. I was not familiar with Hugel gardening but found limited information. I’ve composted all my leaves and grass clipping for as long as I’ve used cardboard. It attracts the biggest earthworms I’ve ever seen. As far as the Hugel system, I don’t have access to wood chips. I had researched using sawdust but found that it was not advised. Do you know anyway to convert sawdust into usable compost? Any tips for using Hugel successfully? I’ve just bought a house and the yard is completely shaded with huge trees. It was the only thing I didn’t like about it. No irises, daylilies and most vegetables. Thus I am watching this video! I will have abundant leaves to compost but not much I can grow that’s edible. I plan to plant fruit trees in the only area with sun nearest the street.

TIPS ON TERMS (like "part shade") FOR GARDENING NEWBIES: Have you ever been to a zoo and notice that they keep the penguins in a contained environment that is cooler and filled with ice? They do this because the penguins need a certain environment to survive. Plants are the same way. The plants we cultivate in our gardens around the world originated in a particular climate. We can do different things to stretch that environment in one direction or another, but only so far. Which means that the terms "sun," "part shade," and "shade" are to be taken with a grain of salt. I moved from California where I studied horticulture to South Dakota, and have quickly learned that these terms do not mean the same thing in different areas. Plants that say "part shade" might actually need full sun in my area of South Dakota - I have a short growing season (and I'm also at elevation - yippee) we have cooler days and overnight lows in the 40s sometimes in the summer. Basil has a hard time in full sun here. This year, I'm trying it in my mudroom which is half glass and like a hothouse. (fingers crossed) In contrast, my father lives in the desert in California. Some plants that say "full sun" can take or even need "part shade" in his dry, sunny environment. My point is this, the recommendations here may or may not work in your particular environment and climate. Learning to care for plants, like everything else, takes time so don't despair if you try these recommendations and they don't work for you. I know that a number of these plants will not work in part shade where I live, but I don't despair, I just adjust. I hope you do too. :-)

The grow bags look like some of our supermarket bags and a few others. When they get a hole, brolen a bit, maybe we can adapt them by putting some more holes in the bottom! A good way to recycle as well.

gayedawn1 Not 100 percent certain, but I think the grow bags need to be made of a breathable fabric (so no plastic). I bought one and it is made of fabric with no holes in the bottom because the water just flows out thru the fabric.

Thanks for this, interesting, and prompted some useful ideas in the comments ( extra uses for radish - yes!! Mine goes to seed so quickly. Plus Marian's helpful reference timings, so I can watch the bits I need again. easily. Cheers !!

One use for radishes you didn’t mention is their edible leaf. Even when they are mature and a bit prickly, that disappears when cooked. I use hem in a fritter bound with besan. Very yummy.

Chives are a fantastic, easy onion-family herb to grow in shade. They do fine with just a little sun and they're perennial, growing in ever-increasing clumps every year even in cold climates. They give a lovely fresh onion flavor to your salads and are great for sprinkling on top of hot entrees.

J Baldwin i know north americans drop the H, as the french pronounce it, but we are English speakers, in the UK they pronounce the H, a d this is where we get the English language from, so I find it very weird that we do not. It actually really bugs me and I find it really sounds affected. In the UK we also say Fillet pronouncing the T, why on earth they don’t say the T here, i don’t know.

Since I live at 7000 feet, I'd like to learn more about growing inside because of our extremely short growing season. My dream plant would be a Meyer Lemon tree (shrub?) but that may be more of a fantasy. A tip I discovered by accident is that skylights provide the perfect indirect bright light for things like orchids. My supermarket orchid has bloomed for five years on my bathroom vanity under a skylight. I would not have thought that that type of light would be sufficient, but it is.
@bsarioz
@bsarioz 3 года назад
I think you could grow Meyer lemon in a big pot indoors by providing a dedicated light. LED lights are pretty efficient, but of course it'll cost a bit. Unless you have a window that gets a lot of light?

I lived at 7200 ft and had a large veggie garden. I grew peas for sure, and small-size tomatoes as I knew the large ones would never get mature in time. I always looked on the seed packets to find the shortest days-to-maturity number. We had a lot of success with sweet corn that, if I remember rightly, was 56 days to maturity. Our biggest problems were deer and voles.
@hollyhalls2630
@hollyhalls2630 3 года назад
I live where I have a Meyer's lemon outside and it is wonderful. However, you can grow inside successfully with excellent indirect lighting. All citrus tolerate shade although they are typically grown in full sun. Give it a try - even one fresh lemon will be worth the effort. And, BTW, have you ever tried searing your lemons in oil before you fry fish in it? Wonderful to have that lemon in the oil AND the warm seared (and mellowed) lemon juice squeezed over the fish.

I'm growing a small Meyer lemon tree indoors under an LED flood grow light. The "tree" (mayyybe 14-in. tall) has 2 fist-sized ripening lemons. My indoor light exposure is poor, and grow lights allow me (finally!) to grow African violets, T'giving cactus, etc. without them croaking after a few months. My elevation is much lower than yours @ 80', but ... I highly recommend the lights! :)

debating if i even want to try again, although I garden because I need the food since I am on disability and my income really makes getting veggies at the store problamatic especially with the prices we are seeing now. However last yr rats and mice pretty much destroyed most of everything I planted. I would love any tips anyone has. Getting desperate, Ive tried some of the poisons in the grocery stores but they seem immune. I hate using them since there are birds and stray cats that go in my yard, but the cats dont seem interested in hunting the rats/mice, but I would still prefer not killing the cats trying to poison the rats/mice...Help

Try catching mice in a glass bottle. Something like a UK milk bottle with a narrow neck. Bait with chocolate, prop it up slightly. The mice get in for the bait but can't get back up the slippery glass through the narrow neck. You can then release them elsewhere.
