Shade-Tolerant Vegetables

Grow veggies in shady spots! Arugula, kale, beets, and more thrive in partial shade. Maximize light with mirrors and reflective walls for better yields.

Fireflies are fading due to habitat loss, pesticides, and light pollution. Protect them by reducing pesticides, preserving habitats & minimizing light.
