Having been a vegetable gardener for a big part of my life I see no reason not to try it, as with most things here they will do better in the shade, good 50% shade netting is available on Lazada, the other main point is; mostly soil here is a good free draining type so keep them well watered, not giving a light sprinkle every day but a good soaking three times a week to stop them going to seed.
