I meant to add a list of veggies that will take shade last week as someone asked..sorry here it is/

Brassicas, can do well in partial shade
Lettuce and spinach like it.Kale shows no difference in full sun or partial
Most leafy greens are Ok pak choi does well in it

Root veggies are also ok in partial shade.Some of the above take longer to mature though.

So veggies grown for leafy greens are OK, veggies grown for their roots are ok, but veggies grown for their fruit, tomatoes, peppers,cucunmbers ,melon etc will not thrive well

Peas and beans can be more difficult but grow the darfs rather than polse, crops will be later though/
