I have a shady area - it's from trees. I grow lettuce and peas there -
put them in and by the time the tree's fully leafed, it's hot enough

Interesting. I'll bear that in mind next year, thanks. I love lettuce and
the bf loves his peas (though I prefer them in the form of what we Brits
call "Mushy Peas".)
