How shady is shady, Caz? Do you mean deep shade or do you get sun in the morning / afternoon?
If you get sun for at least half the day, then you can try most things, apart from the ones that really need full sun. I have grown broad beans, garlic, chives, shallots, parsley, spuds and gooseberries in partial shade. The yields aren't as great as with full sun, but it is certainly worth trying a few different things.
Edited to say that the "frilly knicker" type lettuces don't seem to mind a bit of shade either. Alpine strawberries do fine as well.

Thanks for your advice, I think i'll move the garlic to the shady spot to make room for other sun loving veg, I may even give th broad beans a go, thanks for your advice |
