Default shade tolerant veggies

Got this from a Colorado State website:

In general, leafy vegetables are the most shade-tolerant, while those
that fruit from a flower (tomatoes, peppers, squash, eggplants) are the
least. In between are the root vegetables requiring at least a half day
of full sun: potatoes, beets, carrots and turnips. Shade tolerant leafy
vegetables include lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, arugula, endive and
radiccio. Broccoli (and its relatives -- kale, kohlrabi, turnips,
mustard and cabbage -- also grow in partial shade.


Mm. Gives me incentive to plant more chard next year, IF I can control
those bloody cabbage worms!

Anyone know if BT is dangerous to humans and ok if sprayed on leafy
greens and eaten shortly afterwards?
