Many summer residents rightly believe that in order to bloom profusely and have a bountiful harvest, flowers and cultivated plants must receive a sufficient amount of light and heat.
What should those whose plot is in the shade or partial shade do? An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh believes: in no case should you give up the idea of planting a garden, vegetable garden or flower garden here.
After all, there are many plants that agree to live in such conditions – they only need literally 3-6 hours of sunlight per day.
Raspberry
If we talk about fruit and berry crops, the best choice would be raspberries. Experienced gardeners are sure: in the shade, this plant produces much juicier and larger berries than in a sunny area (with appropriate care, of course).
Onions
As for vegetables, there is more choice. Let's start our list with onions - it turns out that even less sunlight will be useful for this crop - to stimulate the growth of bulbs.
Beet
In this case, the situation is not so rosy - beets, although they will grow in the shade, will "give" you small, not large root crops. Although, maybe this is for the best?
Rhubarb
But rhubarb in the shade shows excellent results, but only if it receives sufficient moisture.
Daylilies
Finally, let us name at least one representative of flowers - daylilies agree to a little shade, if they have fertile and moist soil at their disposal.
