Lack of sun is a problem for most veg. Runner beans, it they can climb up into the sun, should be OK. Broad beans don't crop well in the shade.
I've found rhubarb and swiss chard do OK in the shade, also alpine strawberries, though not sure how they'd feel about the wetness. Mine cope with being under 6 inches of water for several hours a few times each year, but they're not waterlogged for a long period.
