Q.Do Street Lights Affect Plants?
My backyard is mostly entirely illuminated by a city street light. Will this affect vegetable plants I plant? Will they grow and fruit properly if they are always illuminated at night? I would say the street light is slightly brighter than a bright full moon. It is a white LED lamp.

Most vegetables, no. Some plants, like garlic, can fail to flower with constant light, but that will have no effect on the edible portion of the plant.
In short, the light's effects will go unnoticed.
