<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">i am at the beginning of designing a landscape that will support as many edibles as possible...only problem is, i have a lot of shade. luckily, there are a number of my favorite fruits and vegetables that will fit in my garden areas with 4-6 hours of sun or less.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">first, i wanted to get the perennial foundation plants selected:</span><br />
blueberries<br />
currents<br />
asparagus<br />
raspberries and lingonberries (in containers)<br />
strawberries (also in containers)<br />
monarda (bee balm)<br />
chamomile<br />
chives<br />
lovage<br />
lemon balm<br />
mint (contained!)<br />
oreganos (plural, because there are lots of types)<br />
little parsley hedges<br />
thyme<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">i need to place decorative and functional raised beds and/or containers along walkways and paths for annual shade tolerant foods such as</span><br />
beans<br />
beets-maybe<br />
broccoli<br />
cabbage<br />
carrots<br />
cucumbers<br />
peas<br />
potatoes (already growing this year in bags)<br />
radishes<br />
sweet potatoes<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">i currently have salad greens in my self-watering planter boxes, and the</span><br />
spinach<br />
swiss chard<br />
mesclun<br />
mustard<br />
arugula<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">dont mind less than 4 hours of sun...everything does grow i bit slower with more shade, but plants dont bolt when the heat and humidity kicks in. i need to get drawing!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1437462303211662252.post-43834508767134412612012-04-10T08:36:00.000-07:002012-04-10T08:36:00.234-07:00happy arbor day!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
