Under a pine tree

I have an area about 8 foot by 4 foot that I would like to grow some vegetables in. It is good quality soil and south facing next to a boundary fence but under a mature Scots pine tree.

Is there anything that I can grow that will tolerate the dappled shade and acid pine needles?

All suggestions welcome as long as its something that I can eat!

Perfect for blueberries and spuds don't mind a bit of shade and acid.

I've got blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and various shrubs and perennials planted around the CIRCUMFERENCE of my 40m pine.
DIRECTLY underneath is patio, ants nests and the chicken dust bathing area.....
However I will be growing my cues in pots on a table underneath towards the edge where they will get the summer sun.

I suspect you'll find the roots closer to the surface than you'll expect. My neighbour's mature blue spruce sent roots my way and when I was clearing the patch beside the fence, I found massive roots less than 6" under the soil. I had to literally chop the roots off and some trailed the whole length of the house. Eventually the neighbours were fed up with the tree's shedding and cut it down. but nothing would grow in that spot so they had to bring in a load of soil which they spread for grass seed.

I've got a blue cedar, and I can get flowers to grow around the edge with only a few branches overhanging them but not even the self-seeding foxgloves and forget-me-not will grow under the middle.  I know a Scots pine will have higher branches so you might get more light underneath but I think you'd have the same problem with the roots.  There is a clump of tall Scots pines around the corner from me, and although I don't know whether anyone's trying to grow anything underneath them, I can definitely say that nothing (including grass) is succeeding.  Sorry.

I'd go for growing things in pots in the least shady bit, personally.  Most veg like a lot of sun but there are a few that are a bit more shade-tolerant.  I've managed chard in part-shade, for instance.

As long as it's got drainage, and is at least 15-18" deep (and probably at least 12" across), any container will do.  I once grew spuds in an old compost bag, turned inside out and with holes punched in it for drainage.  I rolled the sides down quite a bit to start with, then rolled them back up gradually to 'earth' them up.
