Use shade cast by taller plants to your advantage. Plant cool season and more shade tolerant vegetables like lettuce and radishes next to or in between the taller tomatoes, peppers, and pole beans. The shade helps keep the soil cooler, extends the season and reduces bitterness of these cool weather vegetables.
