Default East Facing Wall
Any ideas what would like (tolerate ) a raised bed against an east facing wall.

It's the only spot I have that isn't blasted by the wind

If the wall isn't too high, you could try sweet corn.

Fruit crops (ie tomatoes, beans etc.) need lots of sun. Onions might bolt as they are very daylight time sensitive but Leaf crops (brassicas and cabbage) and most roots won't mind it at all.
