I'm in 7b (Atlanta), and it's getting hot.

I have a small garden in the sunniest part of my shady yard, which
gets varying amounts of shade in the afternoon. In one of the shadier
spots my snow peas look like the heat is taking them out, and I'd like
to replace them. What would be good to plant there at this time?


Got beans? Got corn?



Not yet. I've always liked the grilled green beans you get at Chinese
Buffets.

Can you recommend a shade tolerant variety? Googling seems to point
me toward something with cornfield in the name.

I have a small garden, about 100 SF or so total. The area I want to
plant is only 6' long. I've always thought there wouldn't be room for corn.
