For some vegetables, such as tomatoes, peppers, and squash, this is entirely true. But those of us who have shade are not doomed to a life without homegrown produce. Basically, a good rule to remember is that if you grow a plant for the fruit or the root, it needs full sun. If you grow it for the leaves, stems, or buds, shade is just fine. Keep in mind, no vegetable will grow in full shade. The following crops will produce with three to six hours of sun per day. 1  Salad Greens, such as leaf lettuce, arugula, endive, cress, and radicchio. 2  Broccoli. 3  Cauliflower. 4  Peas. 5  Beets. 6  Brussels Sprouts. 7  Radishes. 8  Swiss Chard.
