We have recently moved into a new house where there is a raised bed built in the garden. It was deliberately put in a shaded patch with a fence on one side, a greenhouse on another, a shed on another and a covered trellis on the last. The previous owners also deliberately planted a blossoming sapling near the bed for further shade. What could I possibly use the raised bed for?! Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you for your reply. The previous owners built the raised bed as a vegetable patch so I wondered what vegetables I could grow in a shaded patch?

put simply none, at least they wouldn't have done well vegetables need sunlight to grow properly.

Take a look at the RHS advice, copy and paste the link below, there are plants that like deep shade but they are, generally, not very floriferous.
