The picture below was taken on a sunny day around 4pm in early December. As you'll see from, much of the garden is in shade although the sun was getting pretty low by that time in the afternoon. However there is a standard wooden fence down the right hand side (and a church the other side of that).
The picture is taken facing East, so in the Spring and Summer, the garden gets a fair amount of sun through mid-morning to mid afternoon.
My available spots for planting veg are:
1) Down a border around a metre deep on the LH side
2) A smaller border on the RH side next to the fence
- (behind the jeans in this pic!)
3) In the space around a collapsing greenhouse, from the birdbath down
- This is around 4m x 3m but again near the fence.
Can you suggest some suitable veg that would be suitable for the limited space and less than full sun?
I'm going to put some garlic in the sunnier LH border now, which will occupy much of that till early Sunner. Any ideas for the bigger area to the RH side would be appreciated.
In case you wondered, I have had limited success with tomatoes & peppers in the greenhouse of the last few years. Because it is rotting in several places and would need substantial repairs, I've decide to switch this area over to open veg garden (assuming it could be made productive).
One thing that did grow well in the RH border this year was Land Cress, so it's obviously suitable for some stuff.
