Can I grow fruit and veg in shade?

Yes, but choose crops that tolerate lower light. Good options for partial shade include:

  • Leafy greens - spinach, kale, lettuce
  • Root vegetables - radishes, beets, turnips
  • Herbs - mint, parsley, cilantro

Fruiting crops like tomatoes and peppers need full sun to thrive.
