I live in an area that is loaded with shade. I live in the city on a high
traffic road. The trees can't go. The only sunny spots are in the front, on
the hill next to the road. Isn't there *any* way I can grow something? My
backyard, where I want to grow things, has only spotty sunlight that moves
throughout the day. There isn't a spot that has full sun, period. Are there
any suggestions on what I can do, outside of using a community garden? The
community garden is out.

I truly hope someone has some good suggestions.


Have you a spot for container gardening? Maybe at the top
of the hill?

Last summer, we grew the following in containers:

various lettuces
green peppers
bok choy
collard greens
cherry tomato
beets
basil

I could have grown a lot more in containers, but I'm
fortunate to also have a reasonable amount of flat sunny
space for an in-ground garden.

The container gardening was VERY successful and very easy to
maintain, I'll grow more things in containers this year.
