Suggestions for deck overhang

Our relatively new deck extends over a sloping area. To keep animals out, the area under the floor was enclosed with trellis but the enclosure does not extend to the entire floor area. There is therefore an overhang, about 2 feet deep, which completely shades the 2 feet of lawn which abutts the enclosure. This area is on the north side of the house, and is almost inaccessible by the lawn mower , so it is difficult to keep tidy, and is a haven for weeds. I thought first of laying artificial grass all around, but I am not a fan of anything artificial, so I thought of cultivating the area and adding plants, but I can't think of anything that would grow in such deep shade. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any other suggestion to solve this problem is welcome. Thank you.
