1) You aren't getting nearly as much sun as you think you are... Very glad that you posted the picture... very tiny garden spot with no air flow... I'm not surprised that you can't get much to grow in that tiny space.

2) At my house... morning sun is the most important sunlight of the entire day!
At my house... the hot afternoon sun is actually injurious to the garden, and I wouldn't plant anything in those conditions, except for the very toughest of plants...

Try finding a spot where you have lush growth... think the middle of the front lawn... A common practice is for people to attempt to put in a vegetable garden or perennials or something in the spots where the turf refuses to grow... it never works...
