If you don't have a lot of precious sun in your garden, don't fill it with crops that thrive in shade or partial shade.
Moreover, in such conditions, under the shade of buildings, trees and bushes, some plants will develop and bear fruit better, which means they will give you a much more abundant harvest.
Cucumbers
Don't be surprised by the fact that cucumbers are shade-loving vegetables. They like moist soil, high air humidity and no direct sunlight.
Some summer residents prefer to plant cucumbers under trees, leaving 1.5-2 m from their trunks and tying the vines to the branches.
Zucchini
If you want large and juicy zucchini, provide them with shade or partial shade. In addition, they will need fertile soil and regular watering to prevent the soil from drying out.
To be completely honest, there is a small downside to this: slugs can take a liking to the dense foliage of the squash.
Peas
Peas are not particularly shade-loving plants, but they grow well in dappled shade.
If a pea bed is illuminated for 4 hours a day, this will be more than enough to get a good harvest of tender pods.
Other garden crops planted in the shade also show excellent results, for example, lettuce, dill, parsley, horseradish, etc.
