B babydays Registered User Messages 416 25 Mar 2007 #1 There's a small area in my garden which is shady (i.e. grass barely grows and is very patchy) which I'd like to make use of. Does anyone know whether potatoes - or any other veg - would grow in a shady spot?

B babydays Registered User Messages 416 26 Mar 2007 #5 Wonderful, I was hoping to try spinach this year and having had a sucesssful lettuce crop last year it will be interesting to compare how it would fare in a more shady spot. Many thanks for the advice Irish Garden.
