How to Grow Vegetables in Semi-Shade

    • 1). Choose a spot for your garden. Select an area of your yard with well-drained soil close to a water source. Also, find a spot close to your home, for easier access.

    • 2). Select the plants for your garden. Shade-loving or semi-shade-loving plants include greens, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, beets, Brussels sprouts, radishes and beans. Purchase seeds or starter plants in these varieties for your garden. Choose disease-resistant varieties of these plants, as low-light conditions and poor air circulation make your plants vulnerable to fungal and moisture-related disease.

    • 3). Prepare the garden area by tilling the soil and adding fertilizer and topsoil if necessary. Ensure the soil is moist, but never soggy or muddy, in preparation for your new garden plants.

    • 4). Place your plants or seeds into the garden according to how they grow. For example, place taller plants away from shorter plants to prevent them from crowding out the short plants. For plants that grow aggressively, establish them along the garden's borders -- to help them grow outward and not take over garden space for less aggressive plants.

    • 5). Maintain your garden by watering daily; fertilize according to the package directions. Also, prevent weeds and pests from overtaking your garden.
