What should I do with a shaded or part-shaded garden?
The direct answer
Observe where light falls before committing plants, then use the planner to select a smaller, more realistic seasonal workload for that part of the garden.
The trade-off to keep visible
Shade can protect a space from heat and drying, but it can also mean slower soil warming, more moisture and fewer suitable positions for sun-dependent crops.
Next practical action
Add a shade area to the visual planner and record how the light changes before choosing a planting task.
