At the end of the season, experienced gardeners already begin to draw up a planting plan for the next year, as this will help to understand what procedures are necessary.
The least in-demand areas on the site are the shaded areas, since not all plants can develop normally in such conditions.
However, there are three options that can be safely grown in the shade, notes landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.
What can be planted in the shade
Beet
Not every summer resident remembers that beets for borscht can be safely grown in the shade. The only thing is that the crop will ripen a little longer than usual.
The root vegetable will also be miniature in size, which is ideal for borscht.
Spices
Yes, the herbs may not grow as juicy and aromatic as we would like, but we will still be able to harvest. Therefore, if you have free areas in the shade, you should consider this option.
Salad
There are many varieties of lettuce, so you can experiment with growing them. All types of leafy vegetables adapt well to shade conditions.
