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.

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? -- Peace, Om Remove - (dash) to validate gmail.

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. Anyone know if BT is dangerous to humans and ok if sprayed on leafy greens and eaten shortly afterwards? Listed as safe to use up to day of harvest.

T I have had ongoing problems with leaf-miners in chard and beets. 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: http://i3.tinypic.com/7wf2f4h.jpg 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.") http://entomology.unl.edu/images/smg...rmyw_larva.jpg Cabbage worms are pretty much plain green. (And cabbage loopers and diamond back moth caterpillars, are mottled shades of green as well.) -- Pat in Plymouth MI ('someplace.net' is comcast) Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

Thanks for the ID! I've had a lot of trouble with those things but I'm sure BT would work for them. -- Peace, Om Remove - (dash) to validate gmail.

Actually, they can take ore shade than potatoes, though less than lettuce and parsley. -- Pat in Plymouth MI ('someplace.net' is comcast) Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
