There is an area behind my shed (the one that came with free erection) there is an area that is usually in shade.

Rather than have it go to waste we thought we would grow things that like shade there next year.

I bought some Chilean guavas last year that we have evidently put in the wrong place as they like shade so they will be going round there and the strawberries, well some of them as I have let them live their lives as they choose.

Maybe there will be a bit of land cress and the pot with the watercress in it.

I can't afford them at the moment but have a catalogue that offers logs that are injected with mushroom spawn, the expensive you can't get in Aldi. Suttons offer plugs of lionsmane that you can put in fresh cut logs, if you can get some.

Has anybody else tried any of these and what else can I stick where the sun don't shine much?

As someone who has a north facing back garden, you have my sympathises.

We've one patch which never gets any sun - Spring bulbs do well as do ferns and hostas. Forget-me-nots seem to survive, and possibly Lily of the Valley, not that I've tried that.

On Gardeners Question Time, the team told a participant that she had little hope of growing anything edible!
