From top to bottom are a volunteer painted sunflower, key lime baby lettuce which I direct seeded about a week and a half ago, flowering sage, and a Thompson Seedless grape vine.
pretty. i think my main raised beds aren't getting enough sun, because I seeded my lettuce around the same time and yours is bigger. I might have to trim that tree afterall!
For lettuce, partial shade can be viewed as a boon. It's true that it will grow slower with less sun exposure but when the heat cranks up in late Spring and Summer you will be able to continue cultivating many types of heat tolerant lettuces in that partially shaded area that you wouldn't if it were exposed to full sun.
