Yes, you are blessed with a nice back yard for that great garden, here as you know no friggin way to get close to 8 hours, and like you said, it depends where you read or watch utube gardening, all are going to be quite different, but I have shown here 5 hours is all mine need, it was 9:40 when I took the picture, as you see they had no direct sunlight yet, they get direct sunlight from 10 am to 3:30 pm, it sure has helped with watering :lol:
