My garden is on a slope and the lower / damper side is yet to be
organised (there is basically a rotten old tree stump, grass and a few
weeds next to the fence). I would like to turn a part of this side of
the garden into a vegetable patch (I currently use a greenhouse but
would like to grow vegetables outdoors too). If I dig over an area,
would it be fitting to simply incorporate some of my homemade compost
in order to grow vegetables or would the damp soil require other
additions to lessen the water-retentiveness of the soil?
I was hoping to grow French beans in this area. What other veg and/or
fruit are not fussy about having too much sunlight at ground level?

Any advice you can give would be greatfully received.

I think it depends which way it faces. North, South, East or West.
Would you let us know please. It sounds like north from what I read.
