LAY SOME SHADE ON ME THE BEST VEGETABLES TO PLANT IN SHADY SPOTS
There’s nothing quite like growing your own vegetables, but if your home doesn’t get the best sunlight, what can you do? It’s a problem many gardeners face. Even if you live in a sunny area, you may have a shady corner of the garden or side of the house going to waste. Fortunately, there are plenty of plants that do well in partial and full shade. As a general rule, leafy greens do better in shade and milder temperatures than other vegetables. Flowering plants and vines, such as cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes, need more hours of sunlight per day in order to thrive — about six hours or more. Herbs While many herbs, such as basil, are better suited for sunnier conditions, there are a few that will do great in shade. These include chives, cilantro, golden marjoram, mint, oregano, and parsley. (Hours of sun per day: 3) Kale Typically, kale does well in partial shade. When kale is grown in full shade, the leaves tend to be slightly smaller, but this can be offset by growing additional plants. (Hours of sun per day: 3–4) Peas Like kale, when grown in shade, peas and beans won’t grow quite as full, and plants may take longer to mature, but with proper planning, you’ll still reap a plentiful harvest. Bush and dwarf varieties are recommended over their pole counterparts. (Hours of sun per day: 4–5) Potatoes Root vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, and beets, will grow in partial shade, but they may take a few more weeks to mature, and they may produce fewer vegetables. However, as most gardeners agree, the results are still worth the effort. (Hours of sun per day: 4–5) Spinach Like most leafy greens, spinach does very well in shade, particularly baby spinach. The plant will continue to produce leaves for an extended period of time if you regularly harvest the outer leaves. (Hours of sun per day: 3–4)
As you read in attorney Jorge’s story, there is nothing so powerful as a parent’s love. When a parent and child are reunited after living in two different countries, it’s one of the most beautiful moments to be part of. While we do see families separated because of immigration matters, we also use our knowledge of immigration law to reunite parents and children and keep families together. So if you are separated from your loved ones, do not give up hope. With a family petition, you may be able to keep your family together. If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you have the right to petition for your spouse, children, parents, and siblings. For example, you can file a petition for your parent. Once it is approved and your parent receives their green card, you will be able to bring them home. Children under 21 are considered immediate relatives, and you can petition for a green card for them. They will not have to wait for a visa number, so this can speed up the immigration process. If your child is over 21 or married, you can still file a petition for them, but they will have to wait for a visa number. If you have a parent in another country, you can only petition for them to come to the United States if you are over 21. Petitions are also available for stepchildren and siblings. The paperwork for these petitions can be complex, so it’s best to work with an immigration attorney to access this powerful tool for bringing your loved ones to your new home. The attorneys at Immigration & Injury Attorneys have first-hand immigration experience and have succeeded with family petitions cases.
