Thank you everyone and Thanks for this forum!
Hello Simon,

The amount of sunlight needed is determined by the plant. Lettuce and small herbs will do better in slightly shaded area. Some salad greens can grow to tall and basically start to flower. Its not exactly what you want to eat.

Broccoli and Tomatoes should be able to use maximum sunlight as long as your not in a tropical area.

A good way to figure out how well your plants will do is to look up the specific strain/species to find out its ideal growing conditions. Compare those ideal conditions with your local conditions and figure out what you need to do to fix the imbalances.

If you need help fixing one of the other imbalances, post it up!
