How much sun does this spot actually get?
Take one photo of your garden. See the hours of sun, if that's enough for what's already growing there, and how much and when to water it.
1Photo of the spot
Stand right at your plant or garden bed and take a picture looking out. Trees, fences, and roofs in the photo are what block the sun here.
Your photo. Trees, fences, and roofs in it are read automatically — the hour-by-hour sun breakdown is below.
Which way were you looking?
Most gardens face south. Change this if you were looking a different way, or the sun-hours math will be off.

Compare different planting spots
Spot A is the photo you already took above. Take or upload a photo of the other spot you're considering — that becomes Spot B. Same plant, same day, so it's a fair comparison.
