Talkback: 10 best vegetable crops for shade

My garden is in shade in the morning and sunny in the afternoon - how does this change the advice given on types of veg to grow?

    My veg plot is on the north side of the house so is in shade all winter but does get full sun for about a month either side of the summer solstice when it's high enough.  Morning and afternoon sun the rest of the year.

    I grow salad leaves, red onions, Savoy cabbage, curly kale and cavolo nero, fennel, turnips, kohl rabi, leeks, beetroot, Swiss chard, broccoli.  Carrots don't seem to work in my soil.    I also have rhubarb and black and redcurrant bushes and purple gooseberries.
