Hawaiisunfun - super helpful, thanks! 😁👍
Thank God for you!
Thankyou!
Thank you! I saved, liked... and now I can go right to the plant i want.
Thank you
Regarding Mint: LOL everyone says the same thing about mint being invasive. Is it? Well yes.....well kinda....well it really depends on you and how much your in your garden. I grow both Peppermint and Spearmint as part of a guild under my ENOURMOUS American Sycamore tree in the front yard. I've been growing it for 10 years. All about it are many many other flowers and shrubs and we all get along fine :) I agree that putting mint in a pot is a good idea. But if you are in your garden all the time as I am it really is no big deal to push it back when needed. But NEVER plant it in an area that you rarely visit (unless your on 40 acres). That is the big problem with mint....out of sight....out of mind....out of control! LOL Mine is breathtakingly beautiful and I love it.
And that’s the beauty of gardening! There are no rules we can all make and create our own beautiful versions 🌸🌿🌱 it can help with beginners especially with smaller gardens if space is a little limited. Thanks for watching! 🙂🦋
It's not that hard to pull out if it gets invasive...it's not like Bermuda grass
I killed soooo much mint trying to get it going :D
I use my mint up by cutting it and drying it for teas etc…..I put a grow bag next to the plant and grow a taller veggie in it. The mint surrounds the grow bag and keeping it trimmed makes it look nice in my garden planter box. It also keeps the bag from drying out.
I have been starting my celery from the ends I cut off from the stalk by putting it in water and rooting them…also romaine lettuce and the ends of green onions…..then I plant in a container early and grow on my enclosed porch.
EDIBLE SHADE PLANTS
1- Rainbow chard, lots of dishes
2- Sweet Potato, full shade ok, dies back on frost, but returns when warm, more edible greens than tubers when planted in shade
3- Rocket, keep wetter, or gets bitter when dry
4- Lettuce, doesn't like heat
5- Tamarillo, sour/tart, need wind_frost protection,
6- Kale, slows in shade,
7- Nasturtium, wraps, salads, pestos and many recipes,
8- Alpine Strawberries, white variety tastes like pineapple
9- Radish, fast
10- Blueberry, good understory plant, under pines, ok in pots
11- Celery, slow to establish, then prolific, keep moist, or it will go bitter
12- Parsley,
13- Mint, has runners underground,
14- Rhubarb, heavy feeder, needs compost,
15- Bush beans,
16- Monstera, big beautiful leaves once established
17- Ginger
18- Cardamom Ginger,
19- Chives,
20- Herbs,
21- Mushrooms
22- Guava tree,
Thank you!
You saved 23 minutes of my life 😀
You need to specify the monstera FRUIT is edible. The leaves are poisonous.
Thanks
Appreciate you!
My parents once planted mint with their roses. In a year it had completely taken over the bed and choked out the roses. Subsequently, mint is forever going to be planted in a pot in my garden.
Oh wow really!! It’s a funny one! I’ve had it go wild and also killed it a few times but I think you have to treat it like it could go wild 🐉🌱
I'm fine with it it makes a nice ground cover and smells nice and seems to keep away bugs
@@SustainableHolly u also can plant myoga ginger,water chestnut,slice lotus,snake gourd,snake bean,snake skin melon，luffa melon，bother gourd ，winter gourd ，ycon，yam
it is possible that mint helps against slugs - in that case you would harvest a lot of leaves to sprinkle around vulnerable plants or around the beds. The combo with dirty unprocessed sheep wool seems to be especially good (waste wool from the rear end, preferably with some excrements on it, likely it works because the slugs can smell the poop and the lanolin). The fibre would be laid out around the beds or even between the plants. Maroccan mint is very invasive and it seems to be especially good against slugs. So you would harvest so many mint leaves that it keeps the mint from taking over.
see my separate comment. I could not get my hands on such wool this season, so I could not test it. But I have some potted mint already ;)
mint, if happy, is prolific. and yeah the roots are nuts and compromise anything it's near to. in a pot, it better be solo. and in the ground, planting IN a pot unless you want it to go nuts. i went through what you did also.
however, i did direct-plant it into a huge long garden bed i made (got sick of trying to mow over a rough, rooty area from a massive tree that was cut down. that whole area was a fkkn mess. stick-like things shooting up everywhere, had to weedwhacker it, always afraid of hitting the mower on the outer areas and breaking it. further back was waist-high weed grass, weeds, and poison ivy. MAN what a project. just finished re-weeding the center section yesterday, weedcloth and mulch about to go down)
anyway! i put some mint in around the stump, just thin, weak little clumps (i often break apart a plant to get multiples) and MAN it's THRIVING! growing in pots it kept falling to pests, but out here it's going gangbusters, is *beautiful* and i figured if it filled the area in a bit that's good. my butterfly plant came back after the freeze (also broken up) and ooooooh my god the honey smell is now to where you don't have to stick your nose ON the plant. it's amazing. and it's well liked by tons of pollinators.
all in all, point is, was very surprised how well a lot of the plants are doing in-ground versus pots and daily water. i have 2 of the same dahlia and the one in ground is very happy. the on in pot? nope. looks half dead. my guess is maybe the ground is holding more consistent moisture level, even if watering every other day. the pots drying out between watering.
A delightful well done presentation.
I’m a horticulturist. My advice is: try it in the shade. As of now there are no plant police so plant cruelty isn’t a felony
Thank you! Absolutely agree 😂 although sometimes I do cater to my plants feelings and apologise 😂
I often thought of the plants that grow for me as being tolerant to manipulation and torture.
Have a great day!

I am a shade gardener (only partial sun in a very small area and the rest is partial to full shade). I grow many herbs well in partial shade- lovage (perennial), common sage, thyme , self-seeding cilantro, dill, lemon balm, garlic and all those you’ve already mentioned. But I had to pop into the comments to mention chives- I grow mine in partial shade and since they’re a perennial, once established they tend to flourish even in shade and they readily a elf sow- I planted one and now have about 12 plus the mother plant. I didn’t have much use for chives until I discovered dehydrating them. I’m in Canada so I don’t have fresh herbs year round so drying herbs is a common practice for me. However, because of the abundance last year, I chopped some to dry. I used it so much they barely lasted us 6wks. I was sorry I hadn’t dried more. This year I now know how much I love them so will harvest and dehydrate a bumper crop of them.
I highly recommend it
Love this! Thank you so much for sharing with us 🌿🌿🌿 I’m doing a lot of propagating from established plants in my garden now - so many free plants 🌱
How do you dehydrate them?
@credx2689 Also Canadian here. Do you just crumble the chives into a dish you're cooking? How do you use them? Thank you in advance!
Honey berries and cilantro grow well in the shade. When I was a child in Spring River, Oregon in the United States, we loved finding the tiny wild strawberries that seemed to grow everywhere in the forests there that I used to wander in as a child in the late spring and summer months. They were the sweetest most delicious strawberries I have ever tasted in my entire life. I have missed them so much as an adult...especially since I moved away when I was about 12 years old and am 56 now. But I never knew what kind of strawberries those were. Thank you so much for sharing what they are called. Now I can plant them in the shady area of my garden and relive that part of my childhood which was so sweet. So cool!
Amazing that’s so cool!! There are quite a few varieties that are all slightly different in flavour. I remember picking them as a kid too 🍓🍓🍓
@@SustainableHolly - I had no idea that there are even more different varieties of these tiny strawberries. Thanks again for the heads up.
We had picked those as kids - growing up in Czechoslovakia….very sweet intense flavor unlike the big watery ones we buy here in the aUSA grocery stores,
I absolutely love all the bird sounds at the end because we don’t have birds that sound like that here so it’s fun to hear them in the background while you’re talking 🙂
Thanks for sharing this ❤
Great info. Thank you so much.
Great Info Holly!!
I learned so much from you Dear! Thank you
Superb ideas for challenging areas of the yard!
TY so much!
love those tips
Loved the video, thanks for sharing
Excellent, thanks again.
Just found your channel. I grow a lot of different mints and make teas out of them. Iced mint teas are super refreshing in the summer and a comfort hot tea in the winter months. It's fun to combine several of them together - Peppermint with Chocolate Mint, Lemon Balm with Catmint, Spearmint with Sweet Mint etc. They're also super nutritious.
I have a lemon balm plant, and haven't tried it as tea. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas.
Your salads look like artwork! Thanks for the information. :-)
I've got nothing *but* shade, so this is what I've been looking for. Love the shots of the meals you make using what you've grown. Gives me more inspiration.
Thank you for the lecture , great information.
Thanks.There was no scrolling and no BGM. I could stare at you speaking about those plants grown in shade and listen to every word you spoke with my ears without any distraction. Wonderful, unstoppable video.
I just subbed to you with my new tablet. Holly, you're amazing! Thanks for sharing some of your vast knowledge, with us. Happy gardening.😊
I have tamarillo trees growing through my rainforest and love snacking on them when I am working down there
Thankyou for inspiring me to grow edible plants in the shady unit I’ve moved to. I miss the big backyard used to have. 🙂
Thanks for this video I really needed...greetings from Sweden🇸🇪
I just found you❣️So cool, thx for sharing... I look forward to learning more... btw, I’m from Central Ca, USA
So interesting, thank you
Thanks for your insights. I've been gardening for decades, but I learned some new things from you and appreciate your insights. Go Kiwis!
great video. I'm going to watch it again with 2 friends who help me with gardening.
Thank you ❤
I ❤ this video!! I’ve never heard of strawberry guavas, and they’re going on my garden wishlist!! Thank you for sharing!
This is very helpful - I have an apartment patio container garden with just about 1 hour direct light and most of it is shade - thank you.
Very good list! 👊🏻🌻👊🏻
I planted garlic last fall to overwinter in a shady area.It is thriving this spring! My first garlic crop, I'm so excited! Thank you for this list!
Me too !!
Yay! That’s amazing 🤩
@@SustainableHolly TY!
ME TOO!! Zone 7, planted my first garlic (12 different kinds) in a new shaded garden expansion, just a week or two ago. Along with lots of other experiments. Hoping the leaves will fall and open up some sunlight, while covering and protecting my new sprouts, along with the straw I spread. And some large plastic sheeting for hard freezes.
Good Luck to all of us! FINGERS CROSSED!
I really hope your channel blows up and becomes huge. You're giving great facts, you have good audio and video quality, you're super attractive, and you have a wonderful way of speaking.
I say this with love momma… water and chapstick… keep them coming lovely
Great video!!
Great video! I'm in Florida, US, but we and Australia/NZ have the same vegetable growing seasons, so I tend to watch a lot of your videos. Also, remember that you can grow some sun-loving plants like tomatoes in partial shade. You just won't get as good a yield, but if shade is all you have, a few heirloom tomatoes are better than none!
This was awesome, informative & I enjoyed the presentation of how you prepare the food.
When you spoke of tamarillo's, I wondered if you grew fejoas 😍 then one dropped and you mentioned it 😂 another Kiwi in Aus. A new subscriber from Sydney.
I’m a newbie to your videos. Lovely information and beautiful garden. 😊😮 Thanks for sharing your love of gardening. Peace
I never thought of growing tree tomatoes that's one of the fruits I miss from my homeland.
Love your knowledge. And great to find you in perth .. now ill know what to do in my garden in the right month and time love your posts.
Where are you in Perth..
Thanks for the video
شكرا يا سكر على المجهود
I’m moving my sweet potato that’s just for the leaves back to the porch. Your the first who’s addressed shade. I’m in South Texas. Hot and humid. Thank you very much.
This looks a lot like Florida! Thanks for the video!
This video shows so many great ideas and also the value of a good presentation. Very appealing and relaxing to listen to. Thx so much from the US. Just getting started in gardening here in Esstern US.
your plants prolly do so well in the shade bc your smile is all the sunshine they need😁
Very cool to hear of blueberries that grow in partial shade. Here in the southern USA our blueberries require full or almost full sun and grow into bushes well over head high with huge yields. Our climate is hot and always humid. Thanks for the info!
Holly, monstera is indeed a very unusual plant but it was very popular during the 1950’s snd 60’s. My grandmother used to grow it in her beautiful organic sustainable garden.
What a good video, so much useful knowledge! Thanks for sharing it with us all and well done mate.
Thank you! Appreciate it 🌿
My aunt used to make tree tomato jam - delicious. Grows really easily here in South Africa too.
Perfect timing dear lady ! I'm on my out to plant some stuff right now +have a shady area that I need to fill...You're a life saver more than you know! God bless you Hon !👏

Red currants absolutely appreciate shade here in Australia. I had my getting only a small amount of sun, and it was so sad. Moved it into an alcove that gets near no sun (but can see sky of course), and it's absolutely taken off with gorgeous green leaves!
Love the way you explained so well and clearly. Thank you!
Thank you!

Oooooh, I have never seen a guava with that color before.❤️
THANKS FOR YOUR WONDER KNOWLEDGE 😉🙂😉☺️
Thank you! 🌿
Oh my! Sweet potatoes as ground cover -Brilliant! I have never considered this even though they take over my backyard garden every year. I should research this further to see how far I could take this.
They are my favourite for so many reasons!! 🌱🌱
Ripe tree tomato is delicious. Thank you for such a wide variety of shade plants and especially the ground covers
Sooo good I can’t stop thinking about them now 😆
Hi Holly, I have only recently found your channel. Lovely philosophy and informative vids. Happy to see that you are in a similar climate 😀
I am looking forward to working my way through your presentations and seeing more of your garden. Thank you and congratulations on your channel. 💐💐
Yay! Welcome it’s so good to have you here! 🌿🦋
This was absolutely amazing!
I just took over a "garden" (a patch of green weed is more accurate), and I'm gathering inspiration for my new dream garden. Not surprisingly, flowers and sun-filled spots are more popular when it comes to inspiration, so to be introduced to 21 different edible plants to grow in the half-, semi- or full shade is amazing. Thank you SO much! 🤗👩🌾🌱
This video was so informative! Thank you so much. Going to utilise more space in my yard Now! 🙏
Yay! I’m so happy to hear that 🌱🌱🌱🌱
After watching you I into gardening too
That is super cool
I'm fairly new to gardening, and I have a lot of shady spots in my garden, so this video was extremely helpful to me!

Thank you lynn!
Great video with lots of information. Very helpful. Thank you, Holly. New subscriber to your channel.
Thanks Braden! Welcome to my channel 🌿
I LOVE guava and now you’ve convinced me that I need to grow one. I have a garden that is in shade most of the day from fences and trees and I have a spot in the corner that is calling out for a tree and I think a guava would be perfect. Also, so lovely to see a garden video in WA. I’m in the South west and this is the closest I’ve found to my local conditions.
Yay! the south west os beautiful!
Your Irises, are beautiful - like mine. :) All of your mentions, especially the leaves for wraps, will be great for KETO !!!
It would be! I’m excited for another season of chard 🙌
You are very intriguing.
Here in the USA, but still, helpful video. Thank you so much!
