Exercise 2 solution Example record for a south-facing patio: Morning (9am): sun on the left half, shade from the fence on the right. Midday (1pm): full sun across the patio. Late afternoon (5pm): sun on the right half only; the house shades the left. Total direct sun: roughly six to seven hours in summer (check in other seasons). Shelter: wall on one side, open to wind on the other, so use a windbreak. Water: outside tap about four metres away. Verdict: suits fruiting crops such as beans or tomatoes in pots, provided the pots are watered often.
