What vege/s can growin a spot which produced mountains of tomatoes,eggplant and herbs during summer. The soil is great but it is at the western end of the garage and only gets sun from about 12.30pm till 3pm? Suggestions please. Area is 6m x 1m and raised,

Any root crops would be fine, carrots, turnips, beetroot, Parsnips if you like them. Although the soil will be fully depleted afterwards. Grow a legume then or add compost before planting similar fruiting crops again. Or grow legumes now, Broad Beans at home are going great. after harvest dig-in, wait at least 2-3 weeks & plant up your fruiting summer crops in October.
