Garden Setup

[phreakod98]

Hey everyone I was wondering if anyone could help me with my first garden bed as I don't quite have a green thumb yet. It is facing the direction in which the sun rises(which I know is good because morning sun is stronger) but only gets about half the day of direct sunlight. because of how my house is located to my garden bed by about 2:30 at this point in the season there is no more direct sunlight but still the general daylight. I want to have a mixture of maybe sunflowers, some tomato plants, some salvia flowers, and a few medicinal marijuana plants(I have a med. license and it is legal in my state). I also would like some nice bright and fragrant flowers. It is approx. 4.5 feet by 8 feet. what do you think would be the best setup? would these plants thrive in this condition? what other flowers would you reccomend growing?

also I live in a maine climate and am going to do an all natural organic garden. thank you for any input and happy gardening!

I think your sunlight should be adequate. You will have tomato fruits later in the season than people with full sun locales, but they will still ripen. Sunflowers ought to be all right as well.

I can't help you with the marijuana, as I have no experience with this plant. Knowing that it is often grown in S. America, I'd say it prefers that midday sun, but I don't know that for sure.

Almost all perennials would grow under those conditions but why not try some annulas, marigolds, petunias, salvia because they generally take less care then perennials and then start building a compost pile so you can amend the beds in the future.
