CorkyJohn 808 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 What can I grow in boxes that will be in shade until early afternoon.....thats when we get the sun. It will be against a fence that I could fix trellis if that gives me better options. Any advice appreciated thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Richardson 1 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hello Corkyjohn, I know a lot of people will disagree with this statement but here we go, you can grow most plants in most areas, but they will not grow to their full potential. However it is not only the aspect you have to look at it is the soil / growing media structure, whether it is sandy, loamy or clay based. Also weather it is alkaline or acidic soil / growing media.also feeding is a must especially if they are going in pots or raised beds, because every time you water the area you will be water out the vital nutrients needed.here is a website which I found quite useful as my garden is rather shady:http://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/shade-tolerant-vegetables-zm0z11zsto.aspx#axzz2xrKWDISR And for plants have a look at the RHS plant selector http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector RegardsJack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
