Shade loving veg

[stinky]

Hi All,

I have 3 raised beds, one is next to my shed so its spend most of the time in the shade and damp. I'm struggling to find something to grow in this bed, has anyone got any ideas?

As I really need the help!!!

Salad maybe?

Can you recommend any types in particular?

Comfrey will be OK.
Most veg needs full sunshine

Anything that is all leaf, and no fruit will just about cope in the shade. So that includes lettuces, salad leaves, cabbages, kale, brussels, spinach, leaf beet etc. Spinach particularly prefers not to be in the full blast of the sun.
Also, raspberries and blackberries, as woodland fruits, will cope with some shade, although preferably not all day.

I find that parsley also does well in my shady areas!! I can confirm that lettuce does well as Sarah said. Rapberries too.
