The middle is for the ramps and the long side on the west is for chard which will be able to take the afternoon sun but can handle larger amounts of shade. (I considered bok choy too.. still considering but I don't have any seeds for those.)

I agree with Rita: Bok Choy won't take any heat, assuming Minnesota summers are hot. Well, you might squeeze in a second spring planting of Bok Choy if you harvest them as baby leaves in late spring.
Now, if you plant it for a Fall harvest (and then mulch very heavily and/or give them some solar covering) the survivors may overwinter enough to bolt and produce seeds "when they should", as biennials, the spring after they started.
No Bok Choy seed! If you join either of the current seed swaps, I'll try to rectify THAT situation! Plus I'm offering two kinds of chard, tatsoi and a few kinds of Chinese cabbage (fall crops, probably).
