I have a spot where I would like to plant some veggies but the area gets
only 3-4 hours of
sun in the summer and I was wondering if anything worth while would
grow there. Any recom
mendations would be greatly appreciated.
BTW I have roses growing there right now which I want to move to the
front of the house wh
ich would open up the area hopefully for berries or vegetables.

In my experience, the most likely veggies to produce where shade is
an issue are green beans, chives, parsley, lettuce and a few other types
of loose, leafy greens.

It's far better if most of the sun is in the morning and most of the shade
is in the afternoon than the other way around.
