Title: What plants like shade

Hi,
I have a raised bed that is shaded for part of the day by a neighbours tree. Have just read on another thread that Pak Choi likes shade so will give this a go and have thought of lettuce - is there anything else? Thanks

Raindow chard or any chard should be OK and it looks great too. Most leafy salad stuff should be fine.

Sprouts prefer partial shade to full sun. On my plot, they have to put up with full sun most years though.
