there is a bit in my garden that is shaded all day if i did plant veg in that bit would anything grow or does veg need full sun light all day

[DavidT]

Is it heavy shade, light shade or dappled shade?

I think spinach prefers not to be in full sun.  I grew leeks in the shadey bit of my garden and they were ok. So were lettuces and beetroot.

Because of buildings, hedges and tall trees, none of my veg plot gets sun all day, but i still grow everything there ...no problem

One of my raised beds is close to our north facing hosue wall - so even now in late March, it seems like it is in constant shade.  You'd be surprised that by mid summer, it still gets a load of sun.  Perfect amount, in fact, for salad crops, spinach, chard, parsley, coriander, chives, radish etc.  Stops 'em bolting.  However, it does mean a shorter season for that bed (i wont be sowing direct there until late April).

Things that bolt easily such as cauliflower and calabrese may do well there.

I would agree with brassicas, and any of the onion family.
