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!
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!
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.
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 have tamarillo trees growing through my rainforest and love snacking on them when I am working down there
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 🙂
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!! 🌱🌱
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.
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.
Tamarillos are the best. I used to have red and yellow. The yellow were less astringent. I describe the taste as a cross between kiwi and pasionfruit in flavour.
They are so good! Thanks I couldn’t think of anything to describe the taste 😂
Lemon sour
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.
WOw! What a lush garden you have! Mint ! I beautiful and very beneficial to our health. Add it to plain sodas, make mint tea, add to salads, add to Lamb dishes., rice. cocktails! GROW IT! Use it!
I have 3 varieties now and still after a couple more 😅😂🌿🍃🫖
@@SustainableHolly You can make a Mint Syrup! Take about 3 cups mint to 2 cups simple syrup..e.i..1 C.water and 1 cup sugar.. in a pot bring to a low boil for about 10 minutes. Then turn of heat. Add the mint and ket steep to cool. Store in a glass bottle up to 7 days. Add to plain soda for a nice refreshing beverage..add a squeeze of lemon
@@CentannicocktailsI've only used mint in potatoe salad, but I think I need to explore it more.
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 🙌
I added mint to my garden many years ago when I didn't know what a monster it is. Digging up those runners was like wrestling the Kraken
Yes!! It’s on the list with a grafted passionfruit 🙅♀️
A few others to consider: Taro or Elephant Ears do well in shade if you have a long, warm growing season and makes an edible tuber when well cooked. Hostas do great in shade and their leaves are edible with their spring shoots tasting like asparagus. And if you have a spot that gets about 4 hours of direct sun and shade the rest of the time, those are great spots for peppers, especially with morning sun. I’ve had some success with cherry tomatoes in spots like that too, though the yield will not be as high as in full sun locations.
Thanks for sharing Elliot those are some great ideas 💡🌿🌱
I must try an sacrifice some of my hostas when they get better established , I had wondered what they taste like .
Elephant Ears and Taro are different. Taro is edible, but Elephant Ears are not.
@@gmeeks Elephant Ears is a common name, not a species. In the U.S., both the colorful inedible decorative tuber and edible taro are called Elephant Ears. When in doubt, look for Colocasia esculenta as the scientific name.
Do NOT eat elephant ears. It is inedible. Taro is edible. You can tell the difference between the two is where the stem meets the leaf. Do an internet search for information.
We drink a lot of mint tea so we are able to manage ours pretty well. Also we are in sand and get pretty hot and dry which slows it down in my experience. It will take things over in the right conditions though.
Great video, very useful even though I live in a cold climate. I have 5 amazing perennial plants too add; 1. European blueberry/ Bilberry it's a small plant that is native in my country, the berries are like blueberry but much smaller and red on the inside. The berries are also much more flavour full. Likes acidic soil 2. Dock is a small leafy green, it's very sour and delicious in salads, it is best grown in shade so the leaves won't turn bitter it also likes acidic soil. 3. White currents very low maintenance berry bush, if you leave it in a forest without checking in you will still be able to harvest berries for years to come, the berries are delicious best eaten fresh, do make sure you get a variety that does best in shade I currently have 2 bushes one that grows best in the sun and another that doesn't grow in the sun. 4. Elderberry a small tree that grow flowers which make delicious syrup and berries that make delicious syrup juice or jam, do make sure when using the berries to sift out the seeds they are toxic especially when eaten in large quantities. 5. Silver berry Elaeagnus ebbingei a very hardy plant that can grow to be 5 meters tall, it is extremely salt and wind resistant so great if you live near the sea, it's also evergreen so it remains beautiful in winter, the berries are good for jam.
Great info thank you! 🙏 You might enjoy Canadian Permaculture Legacy if you haven't found that channel already!
Amazing suggestions thanks so much for sharing 💚🌿 my white current did not like our Perth summer 😭
Have you maneged to grow bilberries? I've heard it's not that easy.
@@Bansheeshe Yes, I have. I don't find them difficult to grow, they are native to where I'm from though. Could you perhaps specify? The plant grows slowly, even in the best conditions. And both the plant and berries are way smaller than blueberries.
Thank you Magdalena. I'll add your suggestions to my list. I'm lucky enough to have a couple of Elder bushes in my garden. I divide my Elder crop into thirds - ⅓ for flowers, ⅓ for berries and l leave ⅓ for the birds who absolutely love them. I make syrup for the winter but l also make Elderflower Champagne for the summer - it's super easy to make and not as alcoholic as the name suggests - a bit like ginger beer isn't really beer. If you haven't made any before do try it, it's a lovely drink in summer. 😊
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 for sharing ♥️
Yay! Thank you for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
Hosta plants. They like shade and come back every year.
Yes great idea 🌿
Hosta shoots are good steamed with garlic butter too.
@@GoingGreenMomreally? I had no idea they were edible
I love how you've incorporated your garden plants into your landscape. This is going to be very important, if some have their way regarding home gardening... thank you so much for the video!
Thank you! 🌿
Thanks, UA-cam, for recommending this channel! Love your videos and your garden! Subscribed 💚
Yay! Welcome 🌿🌱🌳
I don't like tamarilhos but, here in the north of Portugal, they became a plague very easy. I have several on the farm so I do chutney with them. This is one of the best chutneys I ever tried
Yuuum I love chutneys
This is a good reference to anyone starting shed growing. Thanks 🙏
Thank you! 🌿
Hey Holly, there isn't one of your videos that I don't learn something from. I would add to your list, Bay Leaf, Curry Plant and Cayenne Chillies. As you know, I have a food forest and shade is definitely part of the design. Thank you so much for the time and effort that you put into every video. Cheers!
Thank you Craig! Yes love those suggestions too! I also have curry plant in my back garden. 🌿
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!
Okinawa spinach is a prolific shade plant. Interesting mild flavour, and it's a perennial.
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 !👏
👋 You are Awesome, Holly! Thank you for the informative video, I love it❣️ happy gardening Everyone 💛🌺🌾🪴
Thank you! 🌱🌿
In Jamaica we actually have mint tea made almost every morning in our households so I guess that's something we have done culturally to counter how fast it spreads.
I like mint in my potato salad. Gotta try it in tea. Maybe hibiscus tea.
great video. I'm going to watch it again with 2 friends who help me with gardening.
Very good ideas. I wish I had some shady areas in my garden but it's too hot and sunny here. The best I can do is place some of my plants where I get some filtered sun.
I have the same problem in the rest of my garden so maybe I will do a video on that too 🌱
I never thought of growing tree tomatoes that's one of the fruits I miss from my homeland.
love those tips
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 😆
I have turnips & swedes growing well in full shade right now. Not sure what’s happening underground, but above ground, they’re doing well.
🙌 they may produce more leaves to attract the light but you can also eat the leaves too 🍃
Great Info Holly!!
I finally bought a house with a big yard and cant wait to out in a garden next year, but with a huge maple tree causing alot of shade this video gave me lots of hope...thanks
Amazing congratulations! 🌱🌱🌱 If it is deciduous then it could let more light through in winter which would be great!
@@SustainableHolly hi, it is, but unfortunately my winter has snow here (Canada), so nothing's growing outside..lol... there are a few patches of direct sun during the day, I'll utilize as much as I can, but I'll also be able to utilize my shady areas too thanks again
Will you have a greenhouse?
@@michelifig6356 I plan of building raised beds with the intention of eventually closing them in as a greenhouse, hopefully
Thanks for sharing this ❤
Thank you for this video! You've inspired me to look harder at my shady areas and not give up on them :)
Yay! 🌱🌱🌱
Loved the video, thanks for sharing
Very good list! 👊🏻🌻👊🏻
Your salads look like artwork! Thanks for the information. :-)
Superb ideas for challenging areas of the yard!
TY so much!
Great video!!
Many thanks for this. Homesteading in the woods can be challenging.
But so beautiful I bet 💚🍃🌿
Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas.
Great video!! I’m going to try Tamarillo!! I also had no clue that I could grow Sweet Potato in partial shade!
Thank you! It’s so good to have some reliable things to grow in part shade 🌿🌱
Thanks for your insights. I've been gardening for decades, but I learned some new things from you and appreciate your insights. Go Kiwis!
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.😊
your plants prolly do so well in the shade bc your smile is all the sunshine they need😁
The dog plant!!! On wheels
I wish it would grow more of him haha 🐶

So excited for this because arugula a.k.a. rocket is one of my most favorite veggies and I am in the forest with lots of trees and a lot lots lots of shade. Thank you for this lovely list!! Here we are middle of May and it is STILL SNOWING this year 😭😭😭 Mints!!!! I want mint, lavender and thyme to take up at least 1/4 acre of my land 😂🤣😂 bunnies and me LOVE IT!!!!!
I’m in Ontario Canada and understand trying to grow in a climate that has a mix of cold, warm and hot temperatures. I’ve had lots of success with arugula as well as kale and celery which were all still growing in my garden last November when it warmed up briefly. I have mint that I planted below an apple tree which I enjoy. I haven’t had great success with thyme though so I’m trying it again and I just planted lavender for the first time so it’ll be interesting to see how that turns out. Good luck with your gardening.
I'm so glad you posted this!! I've never heard of "Rocket", but I have just planted a bit of Arugula, along with lots of other Fall experiments, in a new garden expansion, under some huge trees, in hopes that the leaves will fall, open up some light, while helping to cover the plants, along with the straw I spread and plastic sheeting for extreme nights. FINGERS CROSSED, in zone 7.
As a child, my mom bought some mint and set the tray under our pine tree. I guess she forgot about it, but after not too long, It had sent out some runners escaping the pot. It grew into a 5x4 ft area (basically where the lawnmower didn't go). So, if you do have it in a pot, maybe put a saucer under it...
People don’t realise just how crazy it is until it has taken hold 😅🌿🌱
@@SustainableHolly Mine died. It must be the soil.
What a good video, so much useful knowledge! Thanks for sharing it with us all and well done mate.
Thank you! Appreciate it 🌿
Thankyou for inspiring me to grow edible plants in the shady unit I’ve moved to. I miss the big backyard used to have. 🙂
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!
I ❤ this video!! I’ve never heard of strawberry guavas, and they’re going on my garden wishlist!! Thank you for sharing!
Really good to see what grows down under 👍
Great Video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What an interesting video! Simple and to the point. Saw your list of videos and just had to subscribe 😍
Thank you. Welcome!!🌿
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!
Fantastic video with so many great options of edible plants to grow in the shade! I just found your channel today and I love it!
Yay welcome! 🌿
What a great video with so many good tips ❤️. Thanks for sharing it 👍
Thank you 💚🌱
Love it:) thank you!
Yay! 🌱🌱🌱
Even though we live on opposite sides of this wondrous home we call Earth, I can grow ALL the same things you do here in my beautiful state of Maine in the US. Thank you again for this awesome list!!!
Ps. The best blueberries and Maine blueberries and they like it hot!!! Check out pictures of Maine blueberry fields.
Thanks for sharing and being such an inspo! Can’t wait to grow out outdoor permaculture garden when we get a house (doing it all in an apartment right now) and share as well!

Thanks Wendy! 🌿
rocket & pineapple pesto is yumm..I love the idea of using swiss chard as a wrap like in your photo.Im only halfway through & I love love all this information. thankyou!😍I love mint as a ground cover.💚
Ohh yum that does sound Delish! I just made a yummy rocket salad but have so much more rocket to eat haha
Yeayyy going to get some
Great suggestions. Going to grow some

@@SustainableHolly I noticed that you seem to have a Scandinavian look, Holly. My ancestors on my mom's side of the family are from Sweeden, a little town on the Finland border.
Do you know the country of your family 's origin? Im always interested in Swedish folk, because my Mom was 100% Swedish, + I seldom meet people who have that ancestry. I find it interesting that you seem to have that Scandanavian " girl next door " look. Has anyone ever mentioned that to you , other than to compliment you on your very pretty features ? Keep smiling that warm + beautiful smile, dear. 😁
@@carolsanborn5332 haha no I haven't had that before. My family is originally from England and I think some distant Scottish 🤷♀️ but to be fair I don't know a whole lot about my ancestor.
@@SustainableHolly Well , I have less than half English on my Dad 's side. He has a little Scottish also, +a tiny bit Dutch as well. Thanks for letting me know . I'm always curious to note the physical features of the different countries of origin ; a bit of a hobby for me , I guess.
Your pleasant smile makes your videos a treat to watch. Keep on smiling 😃👍

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! 🌿🦋
I just subscribed. Nice work. I'll look forward to your future videos.
Thank you welcome 🌿🌿
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!
I’m a newbie to your videos. Lovely information and beautiful garden. 😊😮 Thanks for sharing your love of gardening. Peace
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.
