Greetings all.
I have 1.2m wide beds with 30cm paths in between beds. They run in a north-south direction so that plants of the same height don’t shade each other in the rows.
Which vegetables would do best next to a double row of peas down the middle of a bed, or raspberries or broad beans grown in a neighbouring bed? In these situations they will only get half a day of direct sun.
Last year a squash plant grown in a bed next to the raspberry bed was in direct sun only in the mornings and did spectacularly badly compared to one grown in a bed between beds of low growing plants, so there does seem to be some effect…
Best wishes
