| I would like to put in raised beds along the north side of my home. It's a true north, therefore shaded all the time. I would like to put vegetables in the raised beds. Will the 'cool season' crops thrive there, even though it's full shade? Will they get enough indirect sun to thrive? I was thinking lettuces, spinach, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, cabbage....any other ideas? |

| You're gonna need some sun ... maybe reflected sunlight will help, but not sure what is gonna THRIVE in full shade ... |

| As mangledmind said; I too do not think any crop producing plant is going to do well in full shade whether it be a winter or summer crop grown in the summer or winter in Arizona. |
