The bean plants themselves should survive in light shade, but they probably won't produce much without enough sunlight.

Ginger 03 Aug, Ken (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
What is "hidden ginger?". Is it also edible? I have grown ginger in containers for some years. Generally I have only had small rhizome develop. What should I do to increase their size? Thanks for all your help. Ken

hi do capegoose beries require full sun?
Reply
Cape Gooseberry (also Golden Berry, Inca Berry ) 01 Oct, May (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
In my experience, they grow fine in full sun, but they bear more fruit if they have a bit of shade. I plant mine in flowerbeds and sheltered behind taller trees/plants, so they get morning sun and then dappled shade for the rest of the day.

It's not really worth the effort. They should grow, but will form very small bulbs.

Sweet corn (also corn,maize) 24 Jul, Ritshep (South Africa - Dry summer sub-tropical climate)
Dear Sir, i have planted papaya trees in my yard. They are organic & flourishing very well . People got amazed when they see our papayas, they look different from south african pawpaws. They are very sweet & juicy, have also smaller trees growing. I also planted brocolli, lettuce, carrots & spinash. My challenge is not having enough space to grow all these bcos am now planning to plant sweetcorn, watermelon, spanspek or canrteloupe & pumpkin. I need mentorship & somyeone who can help with a land to lease or make partnership to expand business. Your advice & help will be much appreciated.
