Vegetables prefer a full day of sun, but if you live in a shady suburb you donât have to give up the idea of growing vegetables. Here are some minimum sunlight requirements: Fruiting Vegetables â eight hours of sun. This includes tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and vine crops such as cucumbers, melons and squash. Root Vegetables â six hours of sun. This includes carrots, beets, etc. Leafy Vegetables â four hours of sun. These are your âgreensâ such as lettuce, spinach and collards. * Keep in mind that these are minimums. Increasing the amount of sunlight your vegetables receive will increase the yield and quality of your crop. * Even though your vegetables may get enough light when planted near a tree, they will not get enough nourishment and water.
