need suggestion for some shady areas.

[mopinko]

2. yeah, greens in general are good annual crops for the space.

i do grow chard, but mostly because it is pretty.
i put that in high visibility areas.

unfortunately at this place, the front yard is the sunny part, and the back yard is the shady part. i am pretty free to grow stuff in the front yard, which is almost as big as the back yard.
i had been looking forward to not having that worry with this secluded spot. oh well.

but right now i am trying to lay the groundwork for permanent crops. i am an old lady, and my days of working my butt off every spring are numbered.
i was hoping to do a couple fruit trees, and some grapes in this space. i may still do a couple grapes in the best spot. right now there is a huge patch of hops that does very well. that spot should support at least a couple grape vines.
first i have to eradicate the hops, tho. argh.
i wouldnt mind them if i could sell them. but since i have no idea what variety they are, they are worthless. nasty vines, too.
