OT: Anyone doing vegtable gardens… what’s in your garden.

Any avacado tree will take between 3-4 years to start producing fruit. Even then, it will take 2-4 years after that to get any real yeild. That is assuming you have the correct soil/water for it.

Is this true even for ones that you buy that have a plethora of fruit already on them? I’ve seen ones at the big drive-in nursery in Oceanside that are teaming with fruit and if I buy again, I was going to go that route!

The 1st one I had was a baby from a neighbor who has a good producing tree. I gave up on it after 4 years (I had a friend’s dad who had a mini avocado grove in Fallbrook look at it and he said it was a “donkey”). The 2nd one I bought and it died. This 3rd one I think I’ve had 3 years. It’s never looked great but now it has a grape sized avocado on it. I know I’m not in an ideal place to grow avocados but my neighbor’s does well so I’m still hoping. 🙂

[quote=LAAFTERHOURS]For those of you in the know, what are good items for a garden that dont require a full day of sun? We have a spot we are looking to build boxes in and one half of the area only gets about 4-5 hours of full sun, the rest is afternoon shade. Hopefully something can flourish there. Thanks[/quote]

Mint. I forgot that we have mint growing under our apple tree in the shade and then it has popped up wild in other shady areas of the yard. It’s yummy and I put it in tea and water. Spinach also doesn’t need a full day of sun. That’s all I know of so hopefully others will chime in.

Thanks – I have read that leafy stuff (lettuce, spinash, kale etc), peas and beans, some herbs (mint amongst others) and some berries can tolerate it.

Leafy crops such as lettuce, cabbage, greens, spinach and parsley can tolerate more shade than root crops such as radishes, beets, turnips and onions. The root vegetables can stand more shade than those which bear fruit, such as cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes and eggplant.
