hi,
I often place seedlings in shade of trees, bushes, tall weeds for protection
the only differences i see between an official "shade house" and outside in the shade is
how to get water to them
critter protection
also a greenhouse/shade house would also extend the growing season allowing you to start your plants earlier
I don't see why you couldn't, at least at the beginning,
use the shade of the pines to start some and see how it goes
