I should have provided more details. My planted pots sit on my concrete patio, protected from some still-cold wind (until late April) from the north and west and get southern exposure. They're also protected from some of the driving rain we can get until they're a little older. They do get sun for 4 to 5 hours a day while they sit on the patio. They'll get moved to sit on concrete pavers surrounding a small garden bed once that gets planted with more vegetables like peas, squash, cucumbers and tomatoes. The pots will also get more sun there. Our average last frost date is around mid-May.
