I plant plots and one thing I noticed was where there wasn,t much sun things didnt get as big. One is turnips. They grew but not like where it got alot of sun. eg. sunny area up top 5" dia and little sun 1" dia, I found the 1" dia was a perfect size lol. I broad cast the seed and went heavy. Did an acre patch and was pleased. Deer spend alot of time in that patch.
