Full sun - 6 hours or more Partial shade - 3 to 6 hours Shade - less than 3 hrs 1. Lettuce - grow between taller plants like tomatoes; store lots of water+nutrients in the leaves and the sun can take that away. 2. Radish - specically short varieties grown in less than 30 days such as scarlet globe, crimson, cherry belle 3. Curry leaf plant - partial shade or shade both work, full sun is too hard on the leaves 4. Basil - leaves turn yellow in full sun 5. Cilantro - partial shade, can grow in any kind of shallow trays with limited amount of space 6. Mint - partial shade 7. Taro 8. Beets - if grown in full sun the roots will be big but leaves will grow bigger in partial shade so it depends on what you want to harvest, beet leaves or beet roots 9. Kale 10. Tomatoes - cherry tomatoes only, larger tomatoes need full sun

Thank you. The best thing is that the video is straight to the point without the "frills"

Perfect! I just planted a few veggies in my non- direct-sun patio... in containers. I nailed it on shade. Thank you! Your video helped me and put my mind at ease. I was worried that the sun wasn't blasting on them all day, that they wouldnt thrive. Thanks again! And Happy Homesteading for beginners in a small space!

Great tips! I am a container / grow bag gardener. I immediately went to my back yard and adjusted location of cilantro, parsley for happier plants.

I am so happy I found your video even though you are in the west coast and I am in the east coast, I learned a great deal from your video. Love that you demonstrated how the plants looked in sun versus shade. That really helped. I have more shade than sun in my yard. Again, I leaned so much from this video, thank you.

Alright! Now if you excuse me, I got some potted ciantro and basil to move 😅

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I have lots of shaded areas and I didn't know this until I saw your video! I'm excited to start planting these veggies and cherry tomatoes are my favorite! I'm so glad you shared this! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this topic! I live near you but my south-facing balcony has a full eave and is fully shaded during late spring and summer! Once the sun gets lower for fall, I will get some direct sun on the balcony, but I was nervous for choosing what to grow in containers to start out mid-summer. This will help me choose. I would love to have fruits as well as veggies and herbs, so I may try 1 citrus in a container, and try to buy a more established one, and would love to grow berries as well, so I hope the long California season will help me with that.

GREAT VIDEO! Through the years I've learned that many plants do better in shade or partial shade. This was a nice long list. Thank you! Saved, subbed and Liked!

Not alot of people talk about growing in shade. Great video, especially the difference growing in full sun vs shade. Lots of great work thank you!
@bigrich6750 2 years ago

Thanks for this. This is great information. I’m an urban gardener with large trees in my neighbor’s yards, on both sides of my yard. I get about 6 hours of full Sun on some of my garden, but now I need to rearrange my garden. My lettuce is in full Sun and my broccoli is in partial shade, because I wasn’t really paying attention to where the Sun would be when I planted. Now that the Sun is higher in the sky, I’m getting shade where I had full Sun back in January and full Sun where I had partial shade.

THANK YOU!!! I am in Brasil and would like to start some veggies in containers as I only have a tiny corridor of yard space with little to no sun light most of the time. My Basil and Cilantro plants have been doing well BUT now I have a few more veggies I can add to my tiny garden. This is golden information!!!! Blessings and happy growing to all.
