Shady vegetable patch

[Forrrestttheout]

Hi
I am a completely novice gardener but would like to attempt to grow some vegetables/herbs. I don't have a huge garden but it wraps around the house (like a U shape). Along one side is a large patch of broken concrete leftover rubble and general junk left behind by the previous owners. I would like to turn it into a raised bed vegetable patch but it is surrounded by large trees on three sides so only really gets maybe an hour of full sun, a few hours of partial shade and then full shade. Are there any vegetables or herbs that would grow in this?
For context i'm not in the uk and we don't get a full winter here, never any frost and minimum temperatures don't really go below 10 even at night.

Rhubarb and summer lettuce.

Radishes, chard and brassicas (cabbage, cauliflower etc), mint, parsley, coriander and chives might be ok too. That really is very shady though. You could give it a go but you may find it doesn't work.

Thankyou, I am happy to give it a go and fail as that patch of garden is just wasted currently and is perfect size and shape for a vegetable patch. If it doesn't work at all I will sacrifice some of the lawn but hoping to avoid that.

Chives and mint will thrive, radishes, beetroot, carrots (things that grow underground will probably be ok), leeks, rhubarb. Brassicas are supposed to be ok in shade but I never seem to have any luck growing them in sun or shade. I find peas and beans the easiest things to grow, I'd try runners in that much shade and take it from there.

Japanese ginger thrives in part to full shade.

Caucasian spinach is also said to - I've failed thus far in my attempts to grow it from seed.

Sweet cicely might work.

Sorrel does fine in deep shade, as does horseradish.

Tayberries might work.

Morello cherries might work.

Oh yes, I have runner beans on the shady fence in my garden, which are growing fine but they haven't cropped yet.

summer salads and spinach. Start them off in a sunny spot

Blackcurrants, redcurrants, gooseberries, raspberries.

Chilean guava perhaps.

Sweet cicely works, as do tayberries and raspberries . Rhubarb grows, but not as well as in the sun, I need several plants where other people would need only one. Alpine strawberries do really well. Otherwise, be prepared to forget anything that you eat the flowers or fruit off.

However, I’ve just read that you’re not in the UK . Looking at veg gardens in Portugal and Greece, their main problem is summer drought not getting enough light. It was common to see broad beans grown in the shade of an olive grove, or orange trees or vines planted all round a small garden plot to give shade within.

Thankyou, i'll look into all these and see what is available here
