Is there a veg. to grow there? In summer it will surely be in near total

My experience with shade from trees is that peas and beans don't flower anywhere near as well. But chard seems to be perfectly happy.

Alpine type strawberries are fine in shade, so maybe you could experiment with transplanting your strawberry bed?

Rhubarb is OK too.
