damp area with little/no sunlight

[Morty_007]

OOh, so many questions now I have finally found somewhere to ask them!

One corner of our garden is damp and gets little sunlight year round. Is there any veg that will grow even moderately well in these conditions?

Thanks

Squash, celeriac and celery would be worth a try!

[Morty_007]

fabulous, thanks. Might try squash there then! Am I right in thinking I can train a squash up a trellis to save space?

I've got rhubarb in my shady corner.

Yes, I'm going to make a squash arbour this year. Lots of useful ideas here:

Mr M would like to know why pear and ginger Jam is red...

Ooh, and while I think of it, went to the garden centre and got a morello cherry for the dark damp patch, it should thrive aparently!

Up is a really good idea- you'll get more leaves exposed to the light and therefore a better crop !

Tell Mr M I have no idea, it always seems to go that colour. I'm sure someone can enlighten us though.
