I'm getting a super late start this year, and I'm finally getting around to planting seeds that I harvested last year. I'm planting them in 4 inch pots outside, after the seeds germinate. The plants I started the year before last were done in the basement under grow lights, so planting them outside is a first for me.

My question is, do I leave the pots in full sun? They are only 4 inch pots, and will dry out super fast. Right now, they are in early morning sun, and then they get a little late afternoon sun. During the rest of the day, the area is almost shade, though a little sun filters in when it's windy. The pots are on the tall side, so I can soak them good, but I can see having to water several times a day in this heat. I just don't know if they will grow in that much shade. They do get a lot of light, just not a lot of sun where they are.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Natalie
