I have some gardens planted that get shade from some trees in the afternoon. When Hubby built my garden bed in those areas he kinda poked fun, saying that most veggies need full sun.
During our hot July and August days, those areas do the best.LOL The term full sun is often misunderstood. It really doesn’t mean from sun up to sun down in the spring and summer. More like 6 to 8 hours as a minimum.
Makes sense! :-)
That was the case in my desert garden. Those tomato plants survived for three years until a frost killed them.
