All rabbit related joking aside, this is still one of the better times to try to figure out where deep shadows fall, and for how long they stay during the course of a day. For instance, I let a prominently positioned and easy to access area remain pretty bare for years before I realized that it was one of the better places we have here for gentle, sustained growth. I'd originally expected it to be too shady for many plants, but as I noted the long length of time when that area was actually bright, and then factored in the accompanying cooler spring temperatures, I realized that it was the perfect place for acclimating delicate plants until new growth appeared; lots of morning sun, no southern exposure, and plenty of late afternoon light with a bit of filtered sun...and I'd let it sit nearly empty for years! Now it's a very helpful nursery type area, and a great place for container plants.
