If you don't get much direct sun, leafy veggies and some herbs might do ok. Arugula, kale and other lettuces. These seem to survive on only a couple hours of sun a day. We're the same way regarding sunlight. With the crazy warm weather, I would love to start veggies soon, but our planter boxes get exactly zero sunlight before March :(

I grow kale, swiss chard, red mustard, arugula, lettuce, all with good success. Also snow peas and snap peas. I have mixed results with root crops - carrots, beets, radish turnips. I especially have a problem with beets and radishes. I get about 20% of them that get large and the rest are stunted. Radicchio takes a very long time to grow for me but does get there eventually. I did not plant any this year.

These winter veggies are started from seed in September and October.

Raab has been bolting on me & getting yanked. Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, arugula, swiss chard, spinach, celery, peas, cilantro & parsley all doing well. Those are a mix of seed germinated & nursery born.
Still have a tomato & some basil hanging in there & blooming. Lots of summer flowers holding steady. Salvia leucantha & s. black & blue died back as they should.
I've been sowing seeds like crazy just to see if anything will come up & so far most has. I would love to have more south-east facing dirt. My best salvias & lilies grow there.

allium fistulosum (green onions, bunching onions), snap peas and kale, kale, kale, kale are the champs of my neglected winter garden.

thanks for the suggestions! my sweet peas and snap peas are both croaking from spider mites and maybe something else - i think the mites were encouraged by the hot dry weather - and they may never recover. sad. all yellow/dead leaves toward the bottom - might be a disease in addition to mites? and kale is super stunted, according to the schedule on the packet - do you all have yours in full sun?

My peas also are yellow at the bottom but still producing at the top. This seems to happen every year. See the brown at the bottom of the pic and peas at the top.

And yes, full sun for peas and kale.

My kale had lots of aphids but I keep brushing them off and they are minimal now. Otherwise healthy. I am using square foot gardening here.

I have a lot of chilies that produce all year, plus I have tomatoes that are just now getting ripe (see link below). I used up the last of my basil a couple of weeks ago, but I have huge amounts of cilantro, some of which I have frozen and some of which I have dried. It will not grow well in the summer. I am very happy that I have chilies all year because I use them constantly. I have had cherry tomato plants that have produced for several months, but I have them in a pot now, and so I will have to see how long they will last.
