My assessment of their experiment?
A. If it was too wet (remember the suggested drain holes), the seeds that did badly may have rotted. (This family had an excellent vegetable garden on their land, so I know they know how to grow veggies).
B. Veggies need lots of sun. That much shade is only useful in the hight of summer.
C. Cold can be countered by putting a clear plastic or glass lid over the plants. Plastic 2-3 liter pop bottles with the bottom cut off can make excellent cloches.
D. It might also be helpful if they remove the acorns. Lots of tanin (the stuff used to preserve animal hides) in acorns....
