My VT peeps are reporting serious (up to 80% losses) from mold outdoors this year. Only one guy isn't, and he always plants HIGH on mountains where it is breezy and dries out the dew. The shade si going to be a problem. You should always pick a location with an eye to MORNING SUNSHINE, which dries the dew quickly and prevents this.

If you can get to your plants, give them regular preventative treatments with Serenade, which is OMRI listed organic and safe to use until harvest.
