I have acquired a bit of allotment that will be in full shade for about 80% of the day.

Any suggestions for what veg will be OK.

Thanks friends

    Chard, spinach and lettuce will grow fairly well in shade.

    Yes, greens would be the way to go. Or compost bins.

    Hazel tolerates dry shade.

    Swiss chard var. Fordhook Giant grows really well in light shade. Gooseberries are happy there too.
