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!

I'm not sure why I even bothered with this thread. Honestly with hobbies like this, the best possible thing I've found is to do some searching and find a good forum related to the hobby. This forum doesn't really represent the typical forum (I'm sure you know that). I have learned a ton from various forums I frequent. I've found one for the DIY speakers I build, one that's a guide on smoking, avsforum rules for home theater, gmtrucks.com has a great forum for anything i might want to know/need help with on my truck, etc. I'm sure there are a few where the sole subject is home gardening. I've found that most specific subject oriented forums the people are very nice and very helpful (even I am when I post on them Just an example, the DIY speaker forum I frequent will go from showing simple starter designs which someone who's never soldered and never switched on a tablesaw can build, on up to using fancy mic setups so you can plot your room response and make fine adjust your parametric filter equipment to get a smooth response curve specific to your listening room. p.s. if you find one on home gardening, post up the link. i wouldn't mind giving it a look see as well |
