What to Grow in Shady Spots

Salads are ok in shade. I've also found the brassica family to be very accommodating on my shady side. Many plants are quite un-choosy and will still give you crops even if you can't provide the ideal conditions.

Thanks for that, I did wonder about salad, might try brocolli or cabbage.

Thought about a pond?

Even ponds get a bit manky in the shade. Green water etc.

Comfrey (Russian, Bocking 14) loves damp shade. Use it as an activator for your compost heap and as a fertiliser.
