productive areas
due to a new fence.
Is there a veg. to grow there? In summer it will surely be in near total

shade.


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.





Chard is a good idea. Never tried it so I will give it a go.
