What garden vegetables will grow well in partial sunlight?

Q. I can't dig up the lawn and the only other open space is partially shaded by douglas fir trees, just guessing I'd say it gets about 50% of the sunlight of wide open spaces, I need some vegetables which will still produce a crop even if it takes a bit longer, in partial sunlight.

A. I've heard that these veggies do well in partial shade:

*Spinach
*Lettuce
*Collards
*Peas
*Beans
*Broccoli
*Cauliflower
*Swiss Chard
*Cabbage
- Remember leafy veggies are generally more tolerant of shady areas.

Some semi-shade tolerant plants:

*Carrots
*Radishes
*Beets
*Potatoes
*Turnips
-About 1/2 day sunlight is enough for these..

Plants that would probably do "less" well in shade:

*Peppers
*Tomatoes
*Melons
*Squash

Good luck in your gardening! =)
