4 Edible Crops You Can Plant in the Shade
02.05.2023 18:20
Wise summer residents plan their plots wisely, giving the most illuminated areas to sun-loving crops.
But there are plants that do not need much light. Summer residents plant such crops in the shade. Among them, there are both edible and inedible options.
Practical gardeners primarily choose the first ones, because they can be used in cooking.
Rhubarb
A plant underestimated by many summer residents. But the most experienced know that rhubarb can be used to make very tasty jam. The petioles make excellent compote, and the leaves are useful for cabbage rolls or salad.
Horseradish
The crop develops more slowly in the shade, but only a few people chase after a very large horseradish harvest. This plant can be planted on the north side of the house or fence.
Sorrel
The plant benefits from shade. With a small amount of sunlight, the leaves "ripen" more slowly. Thus, they remain fresh and juicy longer, and contain less oxalic acid.
Perennial onion
The plant can be placed in the shade of a greenhouse and you can forget about what to plant in this area for a long time. There will be a harvest every year, and there will be no room for weeds.
