shade tolerant veggies
 

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.

That's very helpful! Thanks!
Where do you get those veggies? I would like to try one.

Mm. Gives me incentive to plant more chard next year, IF I can control
those bloody cabbage worms!

Anyone know if BT is dangerous to humans and ok if sprayed on leafy
greens and eaten shortly afterwards?

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.

You sure those were cabbage worms? Chard is totally unrelated to
the cabbage family. It's related to beets and spinach (one-time
family Chenopodiaceae, now Amaranthaceae). T

I have had ongoing problems with leaf-miners in chard and beets.

Listed as safe to use up to day of harvest. (Wash those leafy greens
throroughly before cooking!)

Well, they mostly tried to demolish the Broccoli that was next to them,
I think they ate some of the chard "just because".

Here are pics. They destroyed the Horseradish utterly:

And be sure to actually cook them.
Wonder about lettuce tho'.

Perhaps a vinnagrette. ;-)

Oh, those aren't cabbage worms. Those stripes make them look a
bit like some sort of army worm. (Army worms' favorite food plants
are grasses, but they'll settle for eating just about anything. And they
tend to appear in masses, thus the "army.")

Cabbage worms are pretty much plain green. (And cabbage loopers
and diamond back moth caterpillars, are mottled shades of green as
well.)

I think the one thing that helped keep them off the chard more was the
fact that I planted a patch of Pennyroyal that happily grew in around it.

Thanks for the ID! I've had a lot of trouble with those things but I'm
sure BT would work for them.

Could be wrong, but I think they're wanting to harvest email addresses.
