I have a spot against my fence (a small retaining wall allowing space for some plants along the run of the fence) where I've had great success growing herbs and vegetables that usually would require full sun. It is probably shaded half the day. Mint, parsley, thyme, chives, coriander etc have grown extremely well there, as has spinach, lettuces, scarlet runner beans (they've grown up a trellis so that they peak over the top of the fence and get more sun), celery, even tomato. I had a pumpkin plant that grew exceptionally well, until it got no sun at all in the middle of winter. I got about 7 pumpkins off it before there was no more sun and it started to die.

It's going to be tough, not a lot of product grows in shade. Try Kale or Beetroot...I cant think of any others off the top of my head. Good Luck.
