There are many vegetables that grow in shade. These are my favorites that you can easily grow in shade or partial shade.
Shade vegetable gardening isn’t difficult. In this post, you will learn that growing these vegetables is not difficult at all.
Vegetables That Grow in Shade: Shade Vegetables
The shade-grown vegetables on this list need 2-3 hours of sunlight every day to grow successfully. More than 3 hours will suffer.
Mibuna
Swiss chard
Leaf lettuce
Spinach
Collard greens
Rhubarb
Mache
Cress
Mustard greens
Bok choy
Claytonia
Tatsoi
Partial Shade Vegetables
The partial shade garden needs 3-4 hours of sunlight per day.
Full sun is not recommended (especially if you live in a warm climate). They will also not grow well if they get too much shade.
Rutabaga
Beets
Green onions
Kohlrabi
Endive
Bush beans
Turnip
Scallions
Parsnips
Peas
Leeks
Kale
Partial Sun Vegetables
The partial sun garden needs 4 to 6 hours of sunlight every day. These vegetables grow in the shade but with more sunlight, they will obtain better results.
If the plants get more sun they will produce more vegetables.
Pole beans
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Asparagus
Garlic
Radicchio
Brussels sprouts
Zucchini
Squash
Broccoli raab
Cherry tomatoes
I hope that this extensive list encourages them to grow in their garden. Some take a short time to grow and others do not, we usually plant several species at home because we like them very much.
