My #1 patch does'nt get sun until 9 a.m. (It will get sun sooner after I cut my neighbors trees down.) The plants are in full sun all day until 7 p.m. then my tool shed starts casting a shadow on the patch. I will move the shed this fall.

Not enough. This is the largest limiting factor that I have in my patch.

I have a huge maple that my wife won't let me cut and the neighbor has a large tree too.

I'm still interested to see what I can come up with come October.
