It is generally accepted that almost all plants grow poorly in the shade.

Sometimes it is possible to find decorative options, but they are not as desirable as vegetables or greens.

As it turns out, some garden crops can also yield a harvest in such conditions, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

What can be planted?

Beet

If you like small beets that are easy to bake, boil and use for borscht, then feel free to plant them even in shaded areas.

It is worth noting that the vegetable will develop quite well.

Zucchini

The only downside to this solution, as with beets, is the size of the vegetables. However, many note that small zucchini grow tastier.

Therefore, you don’t have to be afraid to plant this crop in the shade.

Spicy herbs

Many people note that dill and parsley grow less aromatic, but this does not affect their nutritional value.

Therefore, any herbs can be grown in the shade.

Earlier we talked about why you shouldn’t plant potatoes in the same place .
