Super old video that came up on my feed. But I had to add: I live in the maritime Pacific Northwest. It’s a cool Mediterranean climate. I’ve got a kale plant that overwintered twice now. It’s two years old at this point and growing leaves about a square foot across.
Thanks Huw, think I’ll give Red Currants a go this year
Great tips for veggies growing in shade!
Thanks for sharing HUW . Love using the shade to grow some extra veg 🙂
What type of berries are those?
Another brilliant video!
It’s helped me relieve certain beds in my head, knowing I can grow my Kale, Chard, Broccoli etc, in the shady bed where I already have my Rhubarb doing well 🙂 (Pembrokeshire)
Question : Do you have trouble there with rabbits? being rather open and exposed.. (as my allotment is too)
Thanks in advance, x x
Love this video. I just bought a house and have a mini orchard out back (1 cherry, 1 plum, 2 apples, and a hazelnut tree) and the ground under them is all waterlogged and unproductive.
I’m planning on turning it into a permaculture food forest and this has given me great ideas of what I can add under and at the edges of the trees. Thank you!

— Weaknesses of the training —
What to do if one is not yet perfect in the five precepts.
These five, bhikkhus, are weaknesses of the training. Which five?
————————
The destruction of life,taking what is not given,misbehavior in sensuality,false speech & liquors,spirits & intoxicants that cause carelessness.These five,are weaknesses of the training said Buddha
—————————
To abandon these five weaknesses of the training, the four satipaṭṭhānas should be developped. Which four? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu remains focusing on the body in the body, ardent, understanding thoroughly, mindful, having subdued covetousness-affliction towards the world. He remains focusing on feelings in feelings, ardent, understanding thoroughly, mindful, having subdued covetousness-affliction towards the world. He remains focusing on the mind in the mind, ardent, understanding thoroughly, mindful, having subdued covetousness-affliction towards the world. He remains focusing on dhammas in dhammas, ardent, understanding thoroughly, mindful, having subdued covetousness-affliction towards the world. To abandon these five weaknesses of the training, the four satipaṭṭhānas should be developped.

Fruit and Vegetables to Grow in Shade to Increase Productivity
As always, great vid!!!
Thank you for the tips , first time I’ve seen your video’s, any recommendations for companion planting ? A book ? Or specialist ?
This has been the worst year for my globe artichokes so I need to move them ( in autumn) and want to reorganise in a sensible , comprehensive way so all the areas are happy . I’m in Norwich East Anglia , UK. Many thanks
I’m having to try cucumbers and zucchini in partial shade because the suns too hot!
Click bait, kiwi 🥝 doesn’t grow in shade
I gave a like just based on the description. You added the vegetables in there.
Very informative video! Swiss Chard is one of my top 5 vegetables to grow. I love it so much and grow in indoors and all year long outdoors. 🙂
Stress your plants, make them think the end is near, little kiddies like popcorn. Yes Mr Vader I know this
As bad it is in Texas! Everything needs to be In some shade! Thank you for the info.
Great video, again, and what an adorable accent!
It’s interesting as I was always told a lot of those on the list, especially Rhubarb needs full sun.
Question: The previous owner of our home planted a holly bush in a full-shade (no direct sunlight, hours of indirect sunlight) spot to cover an unsightly utility meter which is about 3 feet high. I want to remove the holly bush (so my very young children do not pick and eat the berries) and replace it with something that will grow at least 3 feet tall and produce some food. I am considering blackberries on a trellis. Will they produce with no direct sunlight? If not, do you have any other suggestions? (I am in zone 6, USA) Thank you very much!
I absolutely LOVE your YouTube channel, and have started a no-dig garden with your help and the help of Charles Dowding. I am very excited with your upcoming endeavors. I will pray for your school exams! Happy Spring!
Thanks!
Great information thanks for sharing.
Your shade is still quite sunny. Mine is like darker… with just spots of sunlight coming through a filter of leaves of another plants. Plus I just have a balcony.
Did you make that redcurrant picking tool?
Fantastic, I think we have close the the same weather here in Vancouver so this will be really useful. Our yard is very shady(forest) with a few hours of hot sun in summer 😉
The ‘perpetual spinach’ I grow is a chard variant but has a finer stem and a smoother, leaf. When i cook normal/rainbow chard (we call it silverbeet), I cook the leaves and stems almost as separate veges. The thick stems braise wonderfully with garlic, and i steam the leaves with butter 😋
I have to put hoops and shade cloth over my veg beds in summer, to mitigate against our heat, and bird netting (against bluddy parrots😡) for much of the rest if the year.
Thanks for sharing ! Very informative information. Green Blessings
nice video huw ;]
Awesome video! I’ve found kale to be so successful for me in the shade.
I should have said that we are on agricultural land and very close to the sea on a penisular – hence it is quite raw. thank you
Great tips. Dark green, and large leaf plants may do well in shade because of the higher chlorophyll content in the leaves and larger surface area to capture more light. At the opposite end I’ve noticed our Zucchini (Courgette) leaves turn a silvery colour in the full sun when the weather gets hot, I wonder if it may be to reflect some light and heat during the summer.
thats so good and useful thanks! greetings from Mexico.
one of my gardensis in shade. the tomatoes always do fine. i was having to give tomatoes away because tjey were doing so well. would have been better but we got a really bad windstorm in the one direction the plants werent protected from tje woods and snapped not only my tomato plants but the stake they were tied to as well.
Nice video. I love seeing my favorite growers making nice comments.
Thanks for this video. Every year my balcony gets less and less sunlight, so this information is very useful for me.
Great tips, Huw! Thanks for the shout out.
So useful!
What crops/plants you can grow under a mango tree ? Considering that mango trees drops some toxic sap?
Great video. Happy growing 2022.
The video I was looking for. Thank you… Great YouTuber
Your videos are awesome!
Spinach doesn’t grow well in the shade.
I have many years of experience with that issue!
those sheep in the background look pretty sexy
Great job Huw. I learn a lot from your videos , keep it up !!
hello. just found your videos and have been catching up loads. I live in North Devon and it’s very damp all year round. I have a small veg patch and salad bed and find my biggest enemy is the constant wet and I notice that you seem to manage to have dry land, I wonder if your mulching is helping you and do you recommend I try that. Just to give you some indidcation of how wet it is here. I rarely have to water at all. I’d really appreciated some tips on how to get my garden less wet
Hi…do you have a video on seed starting indoor or do you always sow seed directly into the ground
Thanks so much for your work and sharing it all, brilliant! I’ve been meaning to ask for ages… your polytunnel looks exactly the same as the one that I inherited (lucky me) on my allotment. It needs a new cover though and some tlc but have no idea where it came from – do you know?
Your place is looking great behind you Huw. Great information and good to see you again my friend!
Chuck
u talk too much just the facts please!!! what grows best in shade …gee wiz going somewhere else bye
the problem with lettuce is they’re practically devoid of any substantial nutrition. it’s not even worth growing, if you drank a pint of water you’d get the same nutrition as eating lettuce pretty much.
much better off with spinach or kale, or even replace it with cabbage
I absolutely love your videos Huw. I’ve currently been binging on them for the past couple of days. I’m a complete beginner, I have a large garden considering I live in London and currently on mat leave so I’d like to do something productive with my kids while I’m off. Off the top of my head I’d say my garden’s about 20 by 40ft at least. I’ve always loved the thought of growing my own food. As we sit here, my garden is almost all grass, with a patio at the front and back. I really want to get going but the truth is I have no idea where to begin. I know it’s too late for tomatoes and strawberries etc. What do you think I can do now as a start to get things going and what seeds should I buy for my first crop? I’d really appreciate help, thanks
