I question I’m often asked is what can I grow in shady areas and also what else can I do with them in order to get the most from this space? In this video I outline the top crops for growing in shade, and also introduce 3 key alternative opportunities that shady corners provide us home gardeners. I really hope this helps you get the most from your growing space so you can increase the productivity or your organic, permaculture, no dig vegetable gardens.

Who new Jack Whitehall was such a keen gardener?
Inspirational!
You grow Jerusalem Artichoke all through winter?! It's only autumn here in Australia and mine are already dying back. What am I missing?
thank you 🙂
This helps amazingly with unused portions. Thank you so much
I can’t believe you don’t warn people about mint. It’s like planting ivy or bamboo
In my garden, mint spreads like wild fire. I think one should put it in a pot to prevent them spreading too much. Last year I grew climbing beans in half day shade and they were terrific.
Very good video!
Really pleased about the rhubarb, sunny spots are precious in my garden so I've been quite disheartened about where I can put a rhubarb. Will definitely give 1 a go in a semi shady spot this year.
I have rocket leaf and rosemary perennials growing well in acidic shade under an old fallen pine tree stump. Thank you ❣️
how big did that mint plant get by now since u planted it directly in ur garden? :p
in my opinion, plants grow better outside on my balcony (east facing) than inside last year when i had a large south facing window in my shared flat. better photosynthesis, perhaps?
Shade? What's that?
I have rather the problem of too much Sun than Shade in the garden of my grandma…southfacing slope
Our first time gardening, we planted cherry tomatoes beneath trees. They were fine!
You should try ginger and turmeric in shade insted of ur 7 options।
Ginger and turmeric are the 2 best crops for shade after that cocoa, vanila, black papper, long pepper, cherry tomato, raddish, coffee plant are some more shade lovers
Contrary to many opiniona here I am rooting for your mint to be a success. I too put two different kinds in different beds and plan to use it heavily. Cheers to a minty future!
I wish I had seen this earlier. Do you start all these seeds indoors under grow lights, in an unheated greenhouse? Do they need full sun in the growing season? I live in hot humid summer of New Jersey Thank you.
YES, thank you! So many sources out there, even when the name of the video is "what to grow in shade", they then end up saying, basically, don't bother trying to grow anything in less than 4 hours of sun. Like, some of us live in the city, and our yards (and neighbours' yards) have trees.
So nice to see a much less pessimistic take on shade – thank you!
Wow 19 degrees.
This gives me the encouragement to put some raised beds in shadier areas of my yard

Very good..
Organic…..
My tomatoes are doing well with only about 4 hours of direct mid-day sun.
Here in Australia nearly everything needs shade in midsummer.
Warmest day of the year 19 degrees?
Laughs in Australian
you must have great faith in nature to leave the sycamore blocking your light.
I would cut it down and plant 5 more to the side
Great video. I noticed this year how the lettuce and celery did fantastic in the shade. You can be better off with a vegetable growing in the shade where the soil stays moist instead of a vegetable growing in the sun where the soil is constantly drying out. That can certainly be true for sand soil.
