Produce wise, the only ones I can think of are in the mint family. I have seen them grow on the Northside (Northern Hemisphere), in the shade of a house. If you have a lot of motled, shaded areas, how about growing house plants (spider plants, moss, ferns) or plants that are naturally planted in the shade of the Northside (azelias, rhodenderons, camillia). |

Most of the gardening / veggie books will give an indication of shade tolerance. Those suitable for full shade (many bottom level forrest/jungle plants) should be OK. |
