I have a 9 foot by 5 foot bed that gets filtered sun in the afternoon and evening...what can I grow in it? I would love to grow something edible in it but I am not sure what grows well without direct sun. It is 8 inches deep over compacted soil and if all else fails I can fill it with hostas and ferns.
Thanks, Rebekka

Thanks Julie- The only thing I have planted right now is rosemary and I have broccoli and bean seedlings looking for a home. I am glad to hear I can fill it up with edibles;)

Lemonbalm, chives, parsley and rosemary can all handle partial shade. Radishes, cauliflower, broccoli, beans and some lettuce can all survive on less than 5 hours sun per day.
