12 Perfect Vegetables To Grow in a Shady Garden Space
Переглядів 3,444,025
День томуOrder EPIC raised beds for your garden: growepic.co/3gDePto When we think of vegetable gardening, we're often convinced that FULL SUN is the only way we'll be successful. This couldn't be more wrong! There are plenty of shade friendly plants that will thrive in 2-5 hours of sun.
On top of that, there are some plants that won't LOVE being in shade, but will TOLERATE it, which allows you to squeeze out even more harvests from spaces you might typically ignore in your garden.

At my age I guess I have forgotten more than most folks know. Your channel is a nice place where people like to share there gardening.My Daddy used to show me all his tricks. So in his memory I will share one of them for you all to try.He used to grow watermellons every year and a few he use to feed them a watery sugar syrups flavored with stawberry and vanilla sometimes by threading a heavy mop string right thru the vine about 6 inches from the mellon.The mellon would drink up the flavor.Dad used to get a real kick out of people asking him where he got the strawberry flavored water mellons from. SORRY Dad! It is time to pass the secret on now.

Living inland in San Fernando Valley, Ca., it gets quite hot/dry during the 'traditional' growing season. Consistently over 100°, up to 115° for long periods. To avoid heat killing catastrophes from late May up to November, I built my raised bed under the shade of my huge Mexican Ash Tree. Despite careful watering and branch trimming, I was caught between a "rock and a hard place" in this case, not enough hours of direct sun and still too hot. My garden struggled all season. Flowers dropped. Lots of tomato greenery but few tomatoes despite hand pollinating. Chard was flimsy, etc. Low and behold, once the leaves fell off my deciduous tree, giving more sun, and the weather was cooler, more moisture/rain, vegetables started taking off in the middle of winter. I finally got a good continuous crop of tomatoes, the Swiss chard suddenly grew huge, the orange bell peppers produced beautifully, basil thrived. All of these did poorly with summer heat. Now, my plan is to start seedlings late summer with planting seedlings in October my growing season starting in the fall throughout winter and spring. This shift is a surprise, having grown up in New York. This is the true reality. Shade is not enough when the temperatures are so high. Even though the days are short, fall/winter/spring is my growing season. Thanks for your tips, love your vids
@raginghaggis5112 2 роки тому
Yes, Devorah I am starting to realise that this seasonal planting process is so highly dependent on where you actually live. I live in Sydney Australia where temperatures can get very high in summer and not too cold in winter. To add to problem, part of my garden is more like a rain forest micro climate. This year I'm trying something new, planting in winter. So far my coriander (cilantro) seedlings are looking stronger than usual, ie not thin and bolting. Will be starting other planting soon. It's all trial and error. Direct sun too strong, and other areas too shady. Oh well we keep learning 😊😊😊

You can also grow mushrooms in the shade. Particularly, thats a great way to use full shade (which this video doesnt cover). It may seem intimidating at first, but a low tech solution on a bed of hay or wooden logs is not particularly high effort and not particularly complicated and can give high yields.
@bkdill51 2 роки тому

@TheXXLGamer 2 роки тому
@@bkdill51 Yes, you can get the mycelium online and then you only need to inject it into the substrate youre using (use a mushroom that grows on the substrate you want to use; I grow shitaake on hazelnut logs) and keep it moist. There's some great in depth instructions online, but it's really not very difficult (just a bit intimidating at first)
@plips71755 2 роки тому
Usually mushrooms are grown on old logs, around base of trees, on logs that have broken down to a certain point. You can buy inoculated logs and follow instructions. They may offer a inoculated package that you can spread in a suitable space. I don’t find them to be particularly easy - if they dry up that May be it. I like to place in a wooded earthy section in an area that holds moisture but doesn’t flood or rots them. Spread straw, etc and immediately inoculate. Don’t let wild get started cause they will. A friend grew them commercially. The kits are fairly simple but like anything, follow directions and keep up with them. I did them in basement, even hung inoculated log in closet but won’t do it again - didn’t like the earthy smell of rotting wood inside the house. Today they are doing some bags I believe - don’t like mushrooms that much. Simpler to just find a mushroom grower and buy from them at farmers market. PA is big mushroom country around near the Longwood gardens and Winterthur gardens - that area. They use to call themselves the capital of mushrooms. I will tell you I really liked fresh button mushroom - the difference in taste is super like most just harvested anything. Mushrooms that just pop up in the lawn can be highly poisonous. Unless you are trained to know all the different types don’t use those.

I've been growing oregano in a flowering pot for over a year. I live in the PNW and we moved just before the winter to our new home. I was able to leave it outside even though the temps dropped considerably. I just trimmed it down taking all the withered leaves off, and brought my baby inside upon the first snow. I was worried that it wouldn't survive, but I recently had to cut it down again. I have a garden window in the east facing part of my home. It was in that window for weeks. I recently put it outside again in the shade under an awning, to protect it from all the rain, because it seemed like it needed to be outside again. Coincidentally, I planted some strawberries in a bin container that's placed next to the oregano. Both are doing well currently, even though it is colder than I would like. My thing has been, since I've been gardening, is getting a feel for my plants and being able to read them, especially upon the season changing and erratic weather in my area. But yeah, oregano can do quite well in the shade as well.

In 2021 year I followed more of your cold-tomato advice and had good results with Sasha Altai, St. Pierre, Russian Red and Moskvitch among others (note -- some of these are very indeterminate, but successful nevertheless). Thanks for the tip! I'm also finding that a lot of medium-sized peppers do just fine in part shade (not Bell Peppers or other huge ones). In fact over the years peppers have been my most reliable crop. For some reason Spinach, Chard, and Beets just never work for me -- the only reliable greens that have been reliable are chenopods like huauzontle and lambs quarters. Cilantro and Basil have also worked well for me, as well as both bush and climbing beans, peas, and tomatillos.

The foil underlayment material I mentioned above, Alumium foil bonded to foam is an insulator and barrier for putting underneath flooring, and is almost the exact same material as used in windshield sunshades.

This is going to help me for this year. I decided last year when summer was changing to fall that I would convert my entire backyard into a garden. I ripped out all of the grass and weeds, set up my compost, annd mapped out the yards sunlight (with sticks and string) throughout the day to get the different degrees of sunlight. (This house is shaped like an L where the empty box of the L is the "back yard") between the house itself and the trees at the back, I clocked hourly what portions of the yard was in direct sunlight - so I know by the marking what section of the yard receives sunlight for the whole day vs the deadzone. So yay time to get my notebook out and learn what I can plant in the deadzonnnne.
@c.kainoabugado7935 2 роки тому

@@mildredwilkins5781 Forty five years ago, I thought up using cardboard to smother the grass and weeds growing in the area I wanted to turn into a flower bed. I’ve been doing it ever since. I use it around plants and cover it with mulch. It helps retain moisture in our hot climate during the summer and protect roots during the cold winters. It’s getting harder to get cardboard because many places are recycling for which I am grateful. I was not familiar with Hugel gardening but found limited information. I’ve composted all my leaves and grass clipping for as long as I’ve used cardboard. It attracts the biggest earthworms I’ve ever seen. As far as the Hugel system, I don’t have access to wood chips. I had researched using sawdust but found that it was not advised. Do you know anyway to convert sawdust into usable compost? Any tips for using Hugel successfully? I’ve just bought a house and the yard is completely shaded with huge trees. It was the only thing I didn’t like about it. No irises, daylilies and most vegetables. Thus I am watching this video!

Nevertheless I created last year a raised bed right under the treas with almost no sun and tried to find out if it is working. I planted a special kind of cabbage, a so called eternal cabbage, which can achieve 10 years of age and you only collect the oldest leaves of, like with chard. And it works fantastic 😊😊😊. It is thriving. In the same bed I grow garlic veeerrrryy slowly but great and lamb's lettuce. This year I will experiment with zucchini and different kinds of squash in another bed under the treas. Until now it's developing quite good, considered that we still have maximum 10°C end of may 🙈. Thanks for your great tips. I did find your videos only recently and now I am looking each and every one of it😊. Have a blessed day. Sonja

Thanks for the tips about endives! As a Belgian abroad, I miss my Belgian endives, which are rarely homegrown. I've always been told the compact white vegetable is the same as the greener lettuce like crop, but the white compact thing is grown in the dark, often in cellars (in wooden crates), and the green crop is left to grow exposed outdoors. Always have been intimidated to grow it but might try this fall, in a bag on my balcony. If I find the seeds, they are rare to find here. Would love to see a video on the specifics of growing these veg, and thanks for the shout out about their taste! Even most Belgians don't like Belgian endives, but it tastes great braised: much more tasty than spinach and pairs well with salty, umami or 'heavy' things (like halloumi). The white crop is lovely like this: chop in half, remove core, let it caramelise in butter really well, splash of water, turn heat down and let it soften for a while, add nutmeg: and it gets totally sweet, not bitter: you will not find it as nice as this in a restaurant, and it is the perfect food for when you're recovering from illness and you're body doesn't feel like eating anything.

My supermarket orchid has bloomed for five years on my bathroom vanity under a skylight. I would not have thought that that type of light would be sufficient, but it is.

Our biggest problems were deer and voles.

I live where I have a Meyer's lemon outside and it is wonderful. However, you can grow inside successfully with excellent indirect lighting.

I have a gold mine of repurposed wood, tin, chicken wire, and other wires as well. I’m keeping the handmade chicken feeders for planters. Anyway, you’ve given a lot of wonderful advice AND ideas. Thank you.

Kevin, yours are the only gardening videos I will watch. I can't tell you how good it is to watch someone explain as simply and thoroughly as you do, without all the damn small talk and long, looooong sequences of watching the gardener shovel dirt in a container one spadeful at a time, etc., etc....as if we needed to learn how to transfer soil from one container to another. You speak clearly but fast, and you always seem to know the precise information and explanation we need in any given subject. THANK YOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU.
