Sun light?
My garden does not get full sun light until 10:30 am. Once it does get sun light it has it for the rest of the day, In the morning it is blocked by a very large Maple tree. Will this have a serious impact on my garden?

Re: Sun light?
Not so serious that there is anything you can't grow there. My backyard is shadier than that and I still grow some tomatoes there. They aren't as productive as the ones in full sun, but they still give enough tomatoes to make it seem worth having them.

As noted, full sun would be better, however things will grow there. Enjoy.

Re: Sun light?
Sounds like plenty of sun to me, too. You should be fine.
In late June, my garden gets sun from about 7:00 am until 4:00 pm, and it's less than that during the shorter days of spring and late summer. But that's plenty for my tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, herbs, etc. since I get a lot of production out of pretty much everything.

Your fine. I have a similar problem, just about the same times for sun ad you. I haven't ran into serious problems since the 3 years I have be gardening...
