Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I really don't know what you can plant, seems like they all need a lot of sun. I wonder if herbs would do a lot better. I know of a garden group (), want the link and maybe they could help you?

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I've done that too. But most of my yard is shady. So I put them where I can. Its nice with the landscape nursery because we all share. I came home with more hot peppers, some sweet peppers, and a bunch of yellow squash. amyF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 If you want to do container gardens in smaller more sunny parts of your yard, that might be a good option for you. I have pots on my patio with flowers and some with herbs. We have a huge pot of Basil, another Rosemary and Garlic chives. In the spring and fall, I grow dill, cilantro and parsley in pots on the patio also. It is so handy to go and grab a handful to put into all kinds of foods. Sometimes I grow sage and tarragon too. Just didn't get any in this year. Judy I really don't know what you can plant, seems like they all need a lot of sun. I wonder if herbs would do a lot better.
