Veggies for shady areas
« on: July 17, 2010, 19:09 »
Can anyone suggest veggies that I can plant in a shaded area - the soil is really good and not too moist/dry. Have had some success in the past with tomatoes but would appreciate other suggestions.

I think carrots can tolerate quite a lot of shade?
