So, we're moving in a couple of weeks. I was hoping to find a rental house that had a large-ish, sunny backyard so I could do some gardening (cool-weather stuff starting soon, then spring/summer stuff next year), but the best house for us turned out to be one with a very shady backyard. While I'm sure we could trim some limbs to let more light, the backyard would still remain pretty shady.
My question for you more gardening-savvy folks is: are there any veggies/herbs that you know of that do well in partial shade? In the meantime, I'm just hoping we can find a decent place for the basil plant that randomly popped up... it's like 3 feet tall now!

Well, trimming will help, but it's not like we're gonna chop down all the branches or the whole tree (most of the trees are in neighbors' yards anyway, just overhanging). So might be able to do something back there, but eh...
Another possibility is to do some light gardening in the front yard, but it would have to be done carefully so as not to look weird. -------------------- |

Are we talking about trimming pubes or gardening? -------------------- ![]() ![]() |
