Veg for shady spot

[mabelthemini]

I have a tiny veg patch in the corner of the garden-the corner of which has a fence on one side and a hedge on the other. I planted runner beans in the corner but they are not doing too well as I assume they probably need more sun than they are getting. So I know for next year-what would grow better in the shade? it doe sget some sun midday but it is mostly shaded. I am growind,runner beans,peas,onions,carrots,broad beans and cucumbers-would any of the other crops be more suited to that location? thanks for any help

Rhubarb? I think leeks might tolerate some shade too.

Spinach likes a bit of shade ..........

Wait a while... my runner beans are always grown in shade and are slow to get going but do well in the end.

I've had success with onions and carrots as well.

I find it hard to turn off my envious gene when I hear of and see others' early successes but at the end of the season I've got plenty.
