I was there this morning at around 9:30 AM, and at least half the plants were in full sunlight (i have a few patches). They have some small trees around them, but they won't be blocking much of the sun light. Hopefully it will be enough.
Would it be a good or bad idea to post pictures of the area around my patches for you guys to see? Someone could use them for incriminating purposes...

Also, as i was walking through the woods today, I saw 2 rabits and think i heard a deer. All my plants were fully intact. I think there's enough soft green stuff growing around the kids to protect them from becoming the appetizer for some animal's lunch...
