Not every summer resident can boast that all the beds on his country plot are well lit by the sun.
However, a high-quality harvest can be obtained even from beds located in partial shade.
According to the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , there are many varieties of vegetables and greens for which such conditions are quite suitable.
So, what garden crops can be safely planted in a poorly lit area?
Zucchini
Yes, it is unlikely that you will get a bountiful harvest of zucchini in the shade. But partial shade is ideal for this plant.
In such conditions, the crop is protected from heat. Yes, not huge fruits are formed, but small vegetables. But they have a bright taste.
Beet
If you plant this plant in partial shade, it will produce small, but tasty root vegetables.
The main thing is not to forget about regular watering and timely application of fertilizers.
Chinese cabbage
This unpretentious plant demonstrates quite good growth in partial shade.
Peas
For a member of the legume family, a lack of sunlight is not a disaster.
But we are talking about light shade. But a complete lack of lighting is unlikely to have a positive effect on the crop.
Salad greens
These plants are not afraid of partial shade either. Yes, the harvest will not be the most abundant, but it will be of high quality.
Earlier, summer residents were told about a fertilizer with the help of which a tomato harvest will be obtained even in a cold summer.
