How abou chard, kale and spinach? They don't need much sun in the winter and do well in shady areas.

My currant bushes seem to do well in a sandy, shady place! Morello cherries are recommended for north facing walls - you can fan train them up the wall.

Thanks Vicky, cross posted there whilst I was browsing Jono's blog! I love cherries and fan trained would definitely help with the harvesting - the raised bed is already nearly 5 foot high (part of a retaining wall set up).
