I could have given more info but didn't know if this was a discussion or just a here's a link to an article... :)

I've been gardening in the same spot for 20 years. I have a LOT of success with peppers, some ok success with tomatoes but I'm building another raised bed in the section of the yard that gets more light for the tomatoes. Zukes of all things don't do that well. Black raspberries are good, strawberries I get some but the plants don't get really large like Upick farms. Mint and herbs do great. Beans I get a decent harvest from. Not sure why I can't get broccoli and cauliflower to mature. I get small heads on broccoli and even smaller on cauliflower and then it turns purple. Egg plants do ok as well. Volunteer gourds do GREAT. As do weeds but I have them under control. For some reason carrots don't do well. Lettuces do ok but bugs eat them. Spinach does ok. So I can grow a lot of stuff, I'd just say that the plants don't do as well as they would with more light.
