Sounds good Bekkie. I've got raspberries on NE facing slope, at the bottom of a 15ft retaining wall - so pretty shady. 15lb of raspberry jam this year - nuf said?
Don't we all...
For some years I tried to grow rhubarb; only had success when I put it in dappled shade
I have gooseberries and rhubarb in a shady part of my allotment - shaded by an apple tree growing growing in 'no mans land'.
