The house we rent was already set up with raised beds down the side of the house and at the top of the garden. Figured the person here before knew what they were doing so weeded the beds and planted my store-bought seedlings (as per instructions). They aren't doing terribly... They are growing slowly (it's only been a week) and holding themselves up tall and look healthy enough?! (I think/hope).

Today is one of the first days I have been at home, off work (I am sick unfortunately) and I have been using the time to assess the sun outside... in a nutshell, there isn't enough of it. The beds down the side of the house are almost entirely shaded. They're getting partial filtered sun now and it's 12pm. I don't have to be an expert to know this is no good. The tomato plant has been growing like mad... but that too is barely getting any sun by the looks of it.

So my question is... how easy is it to dig up plants and re-plant them where there is more sun? Or should this be avoided altogether? Should I start over with new seedlings or just leave them and hope for the best? Sorry for all the Qs... I don't know what to do and hubby isn't much help either :(

Thanks all in advance!!

What have you got planted?

Definitely not getting six hours of sun. I feel silly for not assessing the sun before going ahead and planting them there!! We have had a few warm days recently, around 75 Fahrenheit. But it's also been raining and grey on and off. We are in the far north of nz... Whangarei to be exact. A nice sunny and hot summer region. There are trees from next door blocking the sun which unfortunately I can't do anything about. Quite large, well established trees.
