What's up everyone? Welcome back. Today we are talking about some veggies that you can

grow in shade. I've been working on the book a little bit. The deadline's coming

up for that for getting the

manuscript in and getting that book into production for you guys so I'm really

excited about that and I figured I would talk about some veggies that you can grow

without full sun because I was working on that chapter or that section of the book and I figured you know what why not hop on the podcast and talk about that as well.

So for me there's certain sections of the garden that just really are never getting more than

four to six hours of sun a day.

And a lot of people would think you can't grow a lot in that area.

And technically that's true because, you know, the more more sun you have the more you can grow generally speaking

but there's still quite a bit of really awesome vegetables that you can grow in

partial shade to not full shade but I would say somewhere around four to five hours of sun a day so the first one's going to be

Arugula is just a classic a lot of people

myself included actually didn't like a rugula too much when I first started growing and I was like what do I do with all

this stuff it's too

bitter it's too peppery for me but I realized that for me when I turn it into a

salad all I have to do is add a little cheese or a little olive oil a little

lemon to cut down on some of that pepperiness and then it becomes as delicious or even more

delicious than many other leafy greens.

So Aruglo would be a great shade crop if you're looking for one to squeeze into the garden.

Beans, beans are pretty good.

A lot of people would think that they need full sun.
