Here’s a link for veggies to grow in the partial shade:

The nighshade family includes Tomatoes, Peppers, and Potatoes and others. Many nightshades are poisonous. The three I mentioned are the only ones that I grow.

There is a story out there that a traitor to the revolutionary cause tried to poison Washington by putting tomatoes in his stew/soup. His plot failed. No idea it is true.LOL

Yesterday’s storm was quite a blow.
Fortunately, all our plants were safe inside the beach house.

B. sprouts and peppers are hardened off and will go in the garden this weekend.

We bought some frost blanket material and plastic pipe to cover the raised beds in case it turns cold again...
