was going to grow tomatoes and peas and then pick some other veg too but then it occurred to me that there is no sun where i was intending to grow them

what grows well in shady areas?

and do i need to grow tomatoes and peas in a sunny area?

tomatoes def need sun, peas need at least some daily sun and a light area
Mushrooms ok dark spot, and spuds might depending on variety

I think spinach likes a bit of shade. It tends to bolt in full sun.

What about the stuff that you put pots over to force it. Rhubarb is one - isn't it sweeter that way? And I think the other one is chard? Might be wrong something like that though.

rhubarb grows everywhere, doesn't it, sun or shade?
