Hey all! I am living in the city, and we have a small backyard that is blocked by buildings so it really only gets bright noon sun in the summer, maybe 3-4 hours worth but that's just a guess. Any advice on what fruits and or veggies might grow well??? I've not gardened like this before and I really want to give it a try. I would do container gardening and there's really not a limit on how big I can go with the containers. Any advice and ideas are super appreciated thanks!
Most edibles I’ve grown needed 6 hours of full sun to thrive. I would still plant the container garden. I would add reflective material or reflectors to bounce light if possible to get the extra hours of light without burning the plants. Cheap reflective materials are the sun reflectors used inside car windshields or reflective emergency foil blankets. Photography portable reflectors can be used. 😎
