Yea I never tryed carrots in my shade garden, swiss chard however thrives. You should try it if you dont already. Some herbs even do good in part shade even though do better in full sun.

Hey MasterGardener1 don't the C3 crops perform better than the C4s generally?

My carrots (Danvers) are doing well in deep cow manure.
I have them under the shade of tall palm trees and the carrots have rather large stems. I think it is the manure that makes the difference,.

I have them planted in deep rows.
