To grow, flower and fruit plants you need one thing especially: Light! But what happens if the garden isn’t bathed in light? No problem. Cultivating vegetables is also possible in half-shade or the light shadow cast by high trees. Many varieties are fine with less light and gardeners working in the shade are ok with the harvest time being a little later than in sunny areas and having a little less produce in their harvest basket.
