    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.

    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.

    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

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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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. 😊

    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!

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! 🤗👩‍🌾🌱

    I'm in the southeast US. The summers are very hot, but humid too. Awful and hard to breath. This is a great video and I will certainly come back to it for guidance. Oh, and I've had good success growing parsley in the shade during the heat of the summer. Cilantro, even in the shade will go to seed even in the shade. It grows well in early Spring (when we actually have one) and in the Fall (again when we have one). Sometimes we only get 3 months of really cold weather. Thanks again.
