Which vegetables will grow in partial shade?

Question:

Which vegetables will grow in partial shade?

Answer:

Most vegetables require at least 6 hours of direct sun each day to produce a good crop.  Leafy vegetables, such as leaf lettuce, spinach, collards, Swiss chard, and kale, can be successfully grown in areas that receive 3 to 4 hours of sun.  Other possibilities for partial shade include radishes, kohlrabi, beets, cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli.
