Newbie question about shade

wrote: I live in an area that is loaded with shade. I live in the city on a high traffic road. The trees can't go. The only sunny spots are in the front, on the hill next to the road. Isn't there *any* way I can grow something? My backyard, where I want to grow things, has only spotty sunlight that moves throughout the day. There isn't a spot that has full sun, period. Are there any suggestions on what I can do, outside of using a community garden? The community garden is out. I truly hope someone has some good suggestions. Have you a spot for container gardening? Maybe at the top of the hill? Last summer, we grew the following in containers: various lettuces green peppers bok choy collard greens cherry tomato beets basil I could have grown a lot more in containers, but I'm fortunate to also have a reasonable amount of flat sunny space for an in-ground garden. The container gardening was VERY successful and very easy to maintain, I'll grow more things in containers this year.
