Glad the changed location is working out. Never underestimate the value of shade. Full sun means 6-8 hours. Many plants just can’t take southern exposure type sun for double that time.
Yes moving from RI to Texas I had to change everything I thought I knew about gardening. When the leaves on my tomato plants started to curl I looked it up on the internet and only then did I learn there was such a thing as too much sun. Learn something new every day.
