Filtered sunlight is acceptable if you only plan to grow leafy greens. If you are growing your garden for fruits and roots, you will want more sunlight. Let the sun be your guide in choosing a location. Watch where the sun hits your yard when it rises and sets. Choose a location that enjoys many hours of sunlight.
