Question by Think Outside the BOX: How much sunlight does a raised bed garden require?
My wife and I just bought a raised bed garden kit and seed kits from Wal-Mart. This is our first attempt to garden. I was wondering how much sunlight these things require. I have a spot in my yard that is mostly sunny, but is shaded part of the day by a tree (I’d say it gets 5-7 hours in sunlight). I was wondering if that would be a good place to plant.

Thanks
It’s a vegetable garden
