Show Notes
Working out what to grow in the prime sunny spot and what to relegate to the shady areas is something that every backyard gardener has grappled with at some point.
Like us, plants have different preferences. Some love being in the full blast of the summer sun every day and others are a little more tender and can suffer from sunburn, drying out or heat stress.
Knowing your food plants preferences means you can cater to their needs and have happy, healthy and good producing food plants all year round.
