In most cases, every year, when planning a planting scheme, any gardener faces a dilemma: how to plant crops if almost all of them need sunlight for proper development?
However, if there are shady areas, don’t be upset: they shouldn’t be empty.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh listed at least three crops that do not need sunlight.
What can you choose?
Asparagus
This vegetable crop is quite expensive, so not everyone has tried it. However, asparagus can be grown on your own plot.
Moreover, the development of the plant in the shade allows to achieve a rare white shade of the vegetable. Such asparagus usually costs much more.
Any herbs
If you love herbs, you probably know that you can grow them even in shade. The only downside is that they won't be as aromatic as you're used to.
Swede
For some reason, this vegetable is planted less often, although it is unpretentious and useful. Rutabaga can grow well without sunlight.
