Your channel is quite enjoyable and the information is spot on. I do have a question and looking for some clarification. I always thought your first four items listed were herbs? I’m always looking to learn new gardening tips and wondered nowadays are those herbs really considered veggies? I only ask to make sure I don’t misspeak. Thanks!

Thank you all the way from Saudi Arabia.. It's my first year in this new hobby our season starts at the end of September or October depending on the weather conditions.. I'm planing to grow 3 varieties of tomatoes and peppers also I have started indoor strawberry bushes as will under a grow light because it's extremely hot and humid outside.. It is dates harvisting season now. Looking forward to plant my crops I'm still working on establishing my garden.. Whish me the best of luck 🌹 Hamidah

I grow Chives in shade too, they work well. Sometimes Chinese people grow chives in complete darkness, it produces yellow chives which is tasty, might worth a try

You are so right about wanting to plant in any space we can find! I have a spot that gets about 5-6 hrs of direct sun per day. I was looking for this kind of video! Your channel is my favorite so I'm so happy that you did one on this topic! Thank you so much!

You are tight about confining Mint. Ours is in the sun. It spreads and grows as tall as 4-feet. We have dug it out, removed it, regularly cut back and harvest it yet ... it is here to stay.

[@ameisherry]

@@RajiTripathi I don’t have ground soil so I grow them in pots When I feel they are too tight I’ll take them out and separate roots and repot them into different pots and give it away The mint here sell for 5 bucks for a small pot , which doesn’t make sense to me at all So I always repot my mint and share , sharing mint sharing love :)

Very nice list. I often plant carrots around crops like corn, tomatoes and peppers in the spring so they will get shade from the larger plants as the weather warms up. Understory planting.

[@letmetellyawithladyt]

Great video. Many of these I discovered by accident. My carrots, kale, broccoli, and mint have all thrived in the shade and cold without much care through the winter. Thank you so much!!

[@mumbaibalconygardenerhobbies]

My entire garden is shade , just 4 hours sun , in tropical weather , no winter season . Infact it just transitioned from partial shade (5 hours) to shade last season . I have grown : 1 . Large and small tomato varieties 2. Peppers ( they do really well in 4 hours sun ) 3 . Basil 4. Pole beans 5. Eggplant 6 . Mint 7. Cilantro 8. Lemon grass 9 . Onion greens 10 . Moringa 11.

I had some extra green pepper plants last year and didn't have much space and decided to experiment, so I planted them in a spot that got just a couple hours of afternoon sun and they actually grew some decent peppers. It surprised me, they didn't get big and didn't produce a lot but they actually grew some peppers.

My spinach, cilantro, and some lettuces grew 💯 in the shade during our winter. Best crop I’ve had.

[@STRThermal]

I’ve had a mesculin mix growing(densely) in a small 3gal tub all summer. It’s get sun from 9am to 1pm and is then shaded. And this is in 90 deg Alabama heat. Container gardening has its challenges, but being able to move plants around to find where they thrive is def a plus!

Yep, I grow purple basil and let it flower for my honeybees, they love it. Since it flowers so well through the Fall it gives them something to work as we prepare them for winter.

[@Braisin-Raisin]

As always, an intelligent, clear and very useful video. I don't know the situation in California, but here in N. Germany mint should definitely be grown in a container or you will NEVER be able to get rid of it again it makes long suckers! Same for blackberries - the bane of my life because both my neighbours let it grow wild and I have to contantly be on the look out for the suckers and seedlings!

[@NextLevelGardening]

Thank you! Shoot a. I mention that in every video I talk about men and forgot this or time.... thank you for bringing it up!

[@kennythomas1500]

Agree. Mint only in containers!! Had a huge problem and slowly recovering from mint that I planted in ground. May need another season to fully recover from the suckers. Same goes for bamboos, ivy, etc. I have done lots of cleanup around these, even though I didn't start them. Blackberry is another thing that I started, but would love to have some suckers for now.

You are so fortunate to get so much sun, here in Ireland we're lucky to get longer daylight in the summr, neve rmind sun.

[@lifewantstolive]

in Southern Arizona, you have to have shade to grow veggies....I built a pergola and stretched 50% shade cloth on a frame my hubby welded on both the west and south sides, leaving the north and east sides open for morning light. So far, it's wonderful! My tomatoes are so happy! When living in Tennessee I struggle with the intensity of the sun and feel like many gardeners in the south could also benefit by adding some shade cloth. Maybe 30%.

[@PennyFarmer-w8g]

[@truthseeker9561]

I grew chard for the 1st time this year in shade. It gets about 3 hrs filtered sun and maybe 30 mins direct sun. They have done amazing! although I have had to battle fungus gnats in my containers tho. I work as a prepper in a Mexican restaurant in a tourist area of Ky. (Im the only white boy allowed in the kitchen 😏). I keep and repurpose the 3 gal fryer oil jugs and cut out one side to make containers for my greens. even with drain holes they hold the perfect amount of moisture as they create a condensation in warm weather if the soil is moist, which keeps it moist! It works perfectly for my loose leaf, deer tongue, micros, ect. now it will be my method for chard. The weather has been cooler than average this year so Im sure thats helped but Im still pleased for sure!✌❤

[@ahnaahna7278]

Though I grew chard over the winter on my sunny winter deck....near Atlanta) I realized now....that I can grow them(now in pots) ....on into the warmer times....as they are in partial shade now....since I removed them to a shady patio here....for now. Thks for your info. Ahna USA

[@HerringLiz]

I have raised bed that gets very little sun. At the beginning of August 2020 we planted 2 seed packets of carrots with the intention of harvesting them about 3 months later just before our first freeze. We harvested a few but they weren’t as large as we wanted so we left them in the ground. When winter really set in we forgot about them. In February 2021 we had the great Texas snowstorm with temps down to -5 degrees F. In March we remembered the carrots & harvested 21 pounds.

[@darlenemassey6161]

Great video! I live in central California where we have blistering heat all summer and my plants are in full sun most of the day. I would love it if you could do a video on how to deal with too much sun and which plants will do best. Thanks so much for all of your videos - I've been binge watching them!

[@NextLevelGardening]

Will do! My dad grew up an a farm in Madera. I hear all about the hot summers he went through...any time I complain about the heat down here😉

[@claudiavogel7342]

I grew up in Fresno, so I know the heat of Central CA! What about planting taller sun loving veggies (like pole beans) on the West side of the garden, so they shade the garden from the afternoon sun? Or, put four t-posts in the ground, around your garden, and build and attach (with zip-ties) a wood framework (we use 2x4s cut in half lengthwise). You can then attach shade cloth to the top attached square. I live in North Texas, and am planning to do that for shade plants.

[@nwinning]

@@claudiavogel7342 great ideas - thanks

[@Liesbeth22]

Just an idea, don't shoot me if it's bullocks. What if you create more shade with things like vining plants, climbing roses, grapes etc? Can you not co plant other crops or plant underneath? Make like rose arches or something? And what about crops like Jerusalem Artichoke? Beans love ro climb up their high stakes. Some sunflowers grow big as well. Bamboo in pots could provide shade and climbing laterial and gives useful sticks to make trelisses. Fruit trees could provide shade and can be grown in pots to not outdo the soil. Maybe it won't 3ven work where you live😬🤪

[@glow1815]

You channel came on my feed. I never knew Basil doesn't flower as fast Vs the ones in the Sun. Which is so true i noticed my shade Basil hasn't flowered yet(happy) the ones in partially shaded spot it stared ti flowered 3 weeks ago i had to picked thr flower every morning becusse i don't want it to grow like a tall busch which i had before. All of them in direct Sun most of the time and the ones jn the shade they thrives. I love Basil i even planted Thai Basil i see in your video. I use a lot of Basil for my dish. For the mint finally it's growing for me. I can never get it to grow yes it's getting Phx Sun and some shade i don't see it dying on me yet lol. Good thing about Phx Az you can grow plants all year round no snow. Thank you great advice.

[@cristiewentz8586]

Basil flowers are excellent in salads...the entire young flower stalk can be used in vinegar to flavor the vinegar (use it in vinegar and oil dressing, or to finish and brighten many dishes)....smaller aka younger broccoli leaves are fantastic in salads

[@Probity100]

Great channel and glad to see you are keeping well. I grow all my tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers etc from seed. In Winter I buy organic varieties and keep the seeds then plant and eat those throughout the year. If I have too many to harvest in Autumn, I blend and store in the freezer

[@22ucespatriotwarrior88]

Third year experimenting on a Northside between two buildings! Id say 3 hrs sun plus some reflection. Pickles have grew not bad here, mint, Lemon Grass, Lemon Balm grew ok. This season trying Small Matoes at the end of North Side adjacent to the East side corner. A good variety of producers here in Jersey! Giving the garden a rotation and expanded so why not try some challenges! The Varieties Early Girl, Sun Sugar, and Super 100s! Let you know if Tomatoes can grow North East Side 3-4 hrs sun Zone 7! 3 ft spacing. Sun Sugar hasn't really grown to much in 3 weeks now sandwiched between ! Spacing 3 feet.

blackberry bushes are so invasive and will take over your entire garden, yard, etc. etc... I love blackberries but after having to hire someone to come out to completely clear my rock wall and those little suckers still kept coming back taking over everything no matter what we did. I now hate those plants. They also attract rats because they like to nest in the thistle thicket. I wish there was a way to control them but in the PNW they just have a mind of their own. You are right though, they love the shade.

[@j.reneewhite915]

There are areas around the house, porch, under trees and on decks that only get 2 to 4 hours of light and can still produce a fair amount of food. If you understand how to adjust the variables and expectations you can grow very successfully in these micro-climates. Soil needs in the shade: The evaporation of moisture is minimal so the variable you have to address is soil that is too moist and creates disease or root rot. If you add a little sand and/or perlite to the soil when digging in your transplants to optimize drainage and hill up any plant that is susceptible to root rot such as strawberries then you will have great success with very little effort. Water needs in the shade: Don’t water as often as your other plants that get more sun. If you don’t know if it’s time to water then sink your finger 3 inches into the soil near the plant to detect if there is moisture. If it is dry then water. Otherwise the plants will tell you if they aren’t getting enough water. Use drip or soaker methods to water because the leaves will stay moist for long periods of time and become susceptible to disease. Light needs in the shade: Try to plant the determinate tomatoes, potatoes and zucchini in the area that gets the most light in the shade garden and if there is an option try for placement in the afternoon sun. Plant your leafy greens in the darkest areas and give every plant that tends to bolt a spot in the morning sun and dense afternoon shade to keep them cool and bolt free for longer. Some gardeners paint walls white to reflect more sun. Others use mirrors in the garden. Some even create beautiful pools of water next to the shade garden to reflect light to the plants. Although these steps are helpful they’re not necessary in most cases. Temperature micro-climate: Typically you’ll have multiple micro-climates around your house and when you identify them it allows you to choose plants that will thrive or tolerate that space successfully. As I mentioned earlier shade creates a cooler, more consistently moist climate that allows leafy greens, brassicas and all other plants that bolt or get bitter due to heat, an ideal growing space for most of your growing season. Growing and spacing needs in shade gardens: It’s always best to start your seeds indoors to create the optimal growth for a couple of weeks before transplanting them in the shade garden. Harden them off and expect the growth to slow down as soon as they are planted in the shade. You may want to protect the seedlings with clear plastic cups for another 2 weeks because slugs love the shade and are more active in those areas. You want to give your seedlings a bit more space to soak up the sun. You don’t want to crowd them and further restrict photosynthesis. If you have a wall to train perennials they’ll benefit by being espaliered against the wall. That’s a fancy way of training them flat against the wall with spacing between branches making a fan shape is most common. Change of growth characteristics and harvest potential in the shade: Add 15 days to the original harvest date due to slower growth. For leafy greens such as cilantro, parsley, mint, spinach and basil the leaf structure becomes larger, thinner and more tender. The harvest is extended by at least a month if not longer. Brassicas have a larger leaf structure and are less bitter when grown in shade. Tomatoes, squash, potatoes and other heat loving plants will give a smaller harvest but worth the effort. Tips from the pros. Is soak seeds before planting, give them an optimal situation to germinate and when they’re growing strong harden them off and plant into the shaded area. If you’re not sure how much sun they might need, plant them in a container such as grow bags, pots or crates and move around the space until you find a good spot for that plant. This helps to learn that micro-climate more quickly with less plant failure. Perennial fruit bearing bushes that are suited for shade are: Currants Grapes Raspberries Blackberries Strawberries Gooseberries Sour Cherry Annual Veggies that thrive in shade are: Lettuce Spinach Kale Swiss Chard Broccoli Peas Radish Kohlrabi Arugula Sorrel Endive Celery Collards All forms of Brassicas Garlic Mustard Watercress Chervil? Annual Veggies that tolerate shade are: Green Onions Leeks Garlic Cherry Tomato (any determinate type) Egg Plant Artichoke Potatoes Squash (short season and summer types) Beets (Chioggia is ideal) Green Beans (short season bush type) Jerusalem Artichoke Plantain? Hyacinth bean? Turnips Rutabagas All varieties of Choy esp. baby choys Herbs that Love or Tolerate shade: Basil (most varieties perform best in shade) Mint Cilantro Parsley Anise Rosemary Sage Dill

Happy Friday all. I have lots of shade area and that's some space I have not used well so far. The shade area is mostly due to the tall California Oak trees that we have and can't be cut. I don't sneak some additional trimming for overhanging branch drops to get some extra sun. We used to have lots of ground ivy there and that's now cleared. Would Asparagus grow well in partial shade under these oak trees. I would love to use the space as that's some of my more usable space right now. The other is on one side of the house. So these tips are great. Looking forward to the fall planning, as I need to start getting my seeds soon. Will you please talk briefly about various plants to grow other than what you will be planting; and of course any preparation to soil to get ready.

Add Brussel sprouts, spinach and peas for my climate. I am in desert SW zone 6a climate with blazing heat above 100 degrees in summer I find most my plants like some shade. Even the tomatoes stop flowering when it gets that hot and peppers will get sun scald. I just cut down some trees that were providing some shade, so I ordered a strip of shade cloth to filter out the western late day sun. I find the tomatoes here do best with good eastern sun, but the late day heat and sun is just too much.

I really love your videos

[@yolylacy5416]

Great information. Thank you.

Such an interesting video although I was hoping you would cover spinach. As a landscaper and gardener up here in Alaska there are both similarities and differences that I immediately understood. it is our long summer days and cool night time temps that help us to grow some of the biggest flowers in the world as well as vegetables!

[@nancywysemen7196]

thank-you.

Grow Papalo instead of cilantro. It will grow all summer long and taste just like cilantro.

[@NextLevelGardening]

Ordered! Thanks!

Such a good idea!!! I love cilantro, hate how short the season is! I hope I can get the seeds in Canada. 🤞🏻

I'm Florida we have a plant called culantro. It has long leaves and likes the heat but tastes like cilantro. :) I haven't heard of papalo. Definitely looking into it

@@northshoregirl72 Vietnamese coriander is another cilantro alternative that doesn’t bolt. I grow it every summer in Canada every year. A small plant in spring turns into a large mound over the summer.

I was gonna give positive feedback until he TOLD me what he said was worth liking. I hear talk of herbs, not veggies.

[@renatara9026]

Thank you, pretty good ideas, but 4 of the plants you have mentioned are herbs and one is a fruit bush, so I think the title is quite misleading. I am glad to hear carrots and beets can be grown in a shade.
