15 Vegetables You Can Grow in SHADE GARDEN

[@LampWaters]

My mint does amazing rain, sun, shade, overwatering, drought, heat, it's my best plant I bring it in over winter too and this year I mulched my bed before frost and it's 20 degrees outside and under the woodchips my mint is still alive.

[@justinaturnbough2465]

I am 17 I love the mint plant it is very strong and powerfu

[@shereegreen4643]

Recommend growing any kind of mint in a container, because they're quite aggressive and spread underground.

[@SURRYHOUSE2]

@@shereegreen4643 yes it is

[@yoholmes273]

Mint is a weed and really doesn't care. As long as you don't nuke it with too much heat, she should be just fine and dandy for years to come. Similarly to Rosemary, be sure to pick a designated section for these herbs exclusively. They both tend to take over, as they should. Happy gardening.

[@MsBuffalopoo]

It took me 3 years to kill mint in my garden. I love it in a container.

[@schmittyschmit4599]

I like how You share information based off of not only facts but also experimenting in your garden. I have watched several videos about this topic and your explanation of how the vegetables grow based off of how much sunlight they receive has really made you video stand out. I have a very shady area in my backyard and this video has been really helpful.

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Glad you like the videos

[@SusanSmith-hl3iv]

Thank you so much! I’m doing container gardening for the first time. I have more shady or partial shady areas than full sun, so now I know I can have “shady harvests” as well. Well-done video-efficient use of time and very informative.

[@ritaleopard6984]

Hello Jag, I want to thank you for making your videos although my daddy was a farmer I knew alot about growing things BUT I have really learned alot with the information you provide in your videos, my husband wont watch any other videos other than yours he says you really know your stuff and he’s building potato boxes so we can get our in the dirt. For the last couple of years our garden has not been doing to good but we’re going your way this year and see what happens. So thank you again. Happy Gardening wish us well.

[@MrBwalendy]

Very well done. Thank you for this. I have over 50 years of garden experience..I concur with everything you have said as my experience is almost exactly as yours.. Good job!

[@SarV1]

If planting yellow squash in the shade, since it stays smaller, can you get away with planting it closer together?

[@gemarkus7295]

I had no idea that you could actually grow a garden in the shade- learn something new every day! Thanks for the information!

[@gendeb9666]

Even though this video is a year old, it is by far the best one Ive found since I am now living in a shady area . Thank you!!!!

[@bernynewman8339]

Thank you for your input on the shade/no shade herbs n veggies. I am in Florida, where of course, it's Always hot! This was very helpful to me. On your mulberry trees, this will sound odd, but has worked very well for me. I grew my own mango, avocado and carambola trees from seed with an abundance of fruits. To stimulate sugars action once mature, add epsom salts around base of tree, and also to stimulate provoking fruits,; hold a small piece of wood/board against the trunk (to protect) of tree while using a mallet to pound the wood around the trunk. This actually works .... Can't hurt to try, I felt silly when I first did it, but was so shocked at the size of my avocados! And the sweetest Mango's and starfruits! I love the mulberry, I have a dwarf tree, I make muffins, cakes, pies and jams with them.....🥰

[@9sec93lx]

My father beat our orange tree one year and we had the best crop ever. I must admit we all thought old dad had lost it when he first did it. Weird huh

[@trishdavi7049]

Thanks Jag. Straightforward thorough explanation. Much appreciate the clarity and even the bit of bird song in the background of your video as compared to some other gardening videos that have comments drowned out by usually bad almost tinny clang music.

[@annacayanan1]

You read my mind 😀 Yesterday I was staring at a bare patch in my garden that gets full sunlight for only a couple of hours and wondered what I can plant in it.

[@petuniafuzz9083]

This is definitely a keeper. I will be back with pen and paper like I was back in school. I know as a newbie, I will make tons of mistakes, but I really want to make a go of this. Thank you.

[@Nestavan]

Great info. I'm going to vent.... I'm having a dump truck of topsoil delivered in 6 hours and my boyfriend(jist downsized housing and made him debt-free) could not be less supportive. I'm heartbroken because all of this is so exciting to me and now I'm doing it totally alone. Its like a shock to the system. I have a full sun yard and full shade yard and an area where I gotta build a tiny home to get my own space.

[@JoannBristol]

This video has helped me so much--I'm keeping my container basil in the shade and it's never done so well. Thanks you!

[@pedwards287]

I love your garden and trees and chickens! Thanks for the tips! I grew up on a farm in a cooler, rainier climate and we gardened in the full sun. Living downtown now in a warmer climate, I have been gardening for two decades and have had so much trouble with things like basil, peas and Swiss Chard. It never occurred to me to move them more into a shady spot. I really appreciate this video and your advice!

[@duncaninnature]

Great video! This lines up with my experience in USDA Zone 9b. I can especially attest to warm-season crops such as basil, cherry tomatoes, beans, and squash. I’m a huge fan of growing mint and basil in the shade. Full sun is indeed optimal for the other three, but they will still produce for me in partial sun or shade. It’s unfortunate because growing guides often advise against anything short of 6 hours full sun, which may deter new gardeners with limited space. Thanks for spreading the word!

[@dericplummer9272]

I am new to gardening and also live in zone 9b. I only have a small patio that gets partial shade but I have some eggplants, green beans, squash, and jalepenos in some containers. I have been so nervous they wont produce. So it is comforting to hear I may still have some success.

[@trishdavi7049]

Due to limited space in garden I planted dill beneath corn and was surprised how well it did

[@mariawagnon4261]

It’s the opposite for me concerning mint, zone 8. I have mint in my sunny herb garden that flourishes every year but the mint I put on the shady north side of my house barely grows. Also if you harvest your mint in the morning it has a better taste. Thanks for the video I learned a lot 😃🦋👍

[@melparrishjr]

Hi, NEW SUB HERE!!! I know this is an old video but not much has changed in the gardening world since then... I live in San Tan Valley, AZ which has a Hardiness zone of 9B. I'm basically a newbie here just learning what works and whatnot. My potatoes ...all planted from scraps! I planted them in grow bags under the table in the greenhouse when we were still seeing chilly night-time temps in the mid-forties. They've grown quite leafy and bushy by now! But everything except the potatoes and tomatoes is burning up in the greenhouse in temps as high as 98 degrees Fahrenheit. There are some other things thriving there but they're all growing in Krakty pots and I must've accidentally got something right with them. My trouble here is in not knowing what sun-loving plants I can get away with growing in the shade. I have germinated a couple watermelon seeds that I plan to sow on the sunny edge of the shade garden. Would that work for me? Also, My Iceberg Lettuce is one of the things I have growing in a Krakty pot [ hydroponics "set it and forget it"] and it's just producing like there's no tomorrow in full sunlight in the 98-degree greenhouse heat... BUT all my other lettuce planted in soil pots had to be moved out of the greenhouse into the shade because they were all wilting and dying. I think a lot of gardening tips and info really depends on your HARDINESS ZONE.

They were planted late, so they are still flowering strong. the 4 plants i have are spaced so closely that they sort of trellis up eachother.
