I would like to get my front garden contributing towards the food

I¹m at a loss as to what to grow. Not only must the garden be

advice would be appreciated. Vegetables

I thought I already answered this, but vegetables will never be good
when grown in the shade. They need a minimum of six hours a day of
full, not dappled sun. Even here in Texas they require full sun.

I must have been asleep. At the risk of feeding a troll (fools jump in,
yada, yada, yada), lettuce and swiss chard are particularly forgiving.
If these don't work, you are screwed.Keep the ground moist (not dry, not
soggy).

As are strawberries.


Not without any sun they aren't.

But the OP didn't specify 'no sun'. Strawberries will grow and produce in
limited sun if there is warmth.
