shade tolerant veggies
doofy said:
Got this from a Colorado State website:
In general, leafy vegetables are the most shade-tolerant, while those
that fruit from a flower (tomatoes, peppers, squash, eggplants) are the
least. In between are the root vegetables requiring at least a half day
of full sun: potatoes, beets, carrots and turnips. Shade tolerant leafy
vegetables include lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, arugula, endive and
radiccio. Broccoli (and its relatives -- kale, kohlrabi, turnips,
mustard and cabbage -- also grow in partial shade.
My experiance is that bush snap and shell beans will tolerate some shade.
Actually, they can take ore shade than potatoes, though less than lettuce
and parsley.
