I have a shady yard, and very limited space that gets part-sun to full sun. Right now, I have a rose garden in the best full-sun spot in my yard. There are 2 other places in my yard I could grow veggies. One is full sun (I think) but is pretty small, the other one is probably more like part sun, but is bigger. I have a light gauge out there as we speak, so hopefully I'll get a more "scientific" answer as to just how much sun I'm getting, but... Is it really impossible to grow veggies in part sun?? The spot that I'm plannning on using gets maybe 3 to 4 hours of full sun a day, and a few more hours of dappled sun.

I plan on growing, tomatoes, zucchini, cuccumber, eggplant, butternut squash, honeydew melon, leek.
