Is this pond in full sun or nearly full sun? If it isn't you will be

Thanks David - very helpful.
The front part of the pond is in full sun, but the back part is
somewhat shaded by the border fence between us and our neighbour's
garden. Would appreciate any advice on which veg _can_ be grown in
part shade.
This is a generalisation, there may be some exceptions, also "full sun" in
some places is a lot more sun than in others. The heavy feeders that are
building much tissue, especially fruits, do best in full sun, this would
things like corn, solanums, cucurbits. Those that are smaller and mainly
grow leaves like lettuce, silverbeet etc will do OK in part sun.
You might want to put the taller stuff on the pole side and the shorter on
the sun side to reduce shading.
