Some crops like potatoes, mint, mushrooms, and basil, can grow well in the shade. Gardening service Manchester is equipped to help you with this.

Once you have assessed all the environmental factors, now it’s time to focus on your planting strategy. In the beginning, you could start with container/pot gardening, as it is easier than in-ground gardening. Container gardening can be beneficial in many ways like water availability issues and sunlight issues (you can easily change the sun exposure for a potted plant). Once your plants are well grown in the container, you can easily shift them into the ground.
