Yes we will hace to compare notes Mrs B.. although my garden isnt big enough for a polytunnel! Thanks everyone.. i may have been worrying a bit much over this shade issue! My front garden is large but paved so im going to cram as much as poss into pots aswell! x

Thanks, good advice! i was thinking about potatos and salad so ill give them a go!

Hi, unfortunatly my back garden is small and north facing so only gets sun till about three or four (if im lucky) in the afternoon before its covered in shade! Does anyone know of any fruit or veg that would still grow nicely in these conditions?
Thanks Emilie x
