Order or pre-order EPIC raised beds for your garden: https://shop.epicgardening.com/ 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.

Thanks for this post! My kitchen garden is in my side yard, which gets a lot of shade. I was surprised that I can grow some things there as well as I can, and he verifies that yes, a lot of the things that I grow are at least shade tolerant (lettuce, greens, bunching onions, radishes, some herbs, cool season tomatoes). I was surprised that he thought that African Blue Basil was perennial, so I looked it up on Wiki, and YES, it is!!! I grew it one year and liked it, so now I guess I am going to somehow have to acquire a new plant or two (it is sterile so no seed) so I can always have some basil.
