Mr Kie

you said earlier that the area where you r going to plant the herb is only explored to the sunlight only few hours so i think that is good enough for the plant to get sunlight. So i don't think it will be good if you just keep them under the shade all the time. i'm not an expert on all the plant you wanna grow, but i have seen in my garden that leaving it outside the shade for few hours a day is better.
