Survival garden? I was expecting a list of organic plants where you could save seeds for next year or perinals of basic foods.

In reply to scoutsout. >If a particular plant says it can handle full sun that does not mean direct sun light Haha yeah this is definitely something I learned the hard way when I first started gardening. It doesn't take very many sun-fried plants to figure out what's going on, though ;)

Good article but you must remember that the sun light needs will vary. If a particular plant says it can handle full sun that does not mean direct sun light. If you were to give most “full sun” plants direct sunlight for 6-8 hours in Texas during the summer you can bet it will consume more water than average and will burn in the sun. Another thing to take into consideration is where the plant you bought was grown. If the local nursery or Lowes gets their plants from a different region in the U.S. then the plant will have to adapt to the new environment and need a little extra care not to burn up in the southern heat. This is just a heads up so people do not fail growing their crops even during the summer.
