need suggestion for some shady areas. [View all]

so, i acquired a new property and put out several things in containers in the spring to test how much sun hits where.
a couple spots that i thought got enough sun showed that things didnt grow all that well there. peppers and tomatoes grew very slowly, so i moved them.
a couple other spots things are doing well, or at least decently.

i intend to plant some fall stuff there. i already seeded some broc and brussel sprouts. if they get past the bunnies, i think they will do well. need to get some more containers for that to circumvent the rabbit explosion, then i will plant that up seriously.
also going to get some lettuce growing over there, where i think the shade will help it not bolt so fast.

but i am thinking about perennial crops that i can grow there.
i have some currants that are overgrown, so i am gonna gamble on those in the sunnier spots.
i can also transfer some raspberries over there. i have to pull them all the time to keep them where they belong, so that i a freebie.

if i can get my hands on some asparagus crown this fall i will try them out in a couple of spots. i had always thought of them as something that does ok in some shade, tho searching around mostly i am reading that they need a good amount of sun.
any advice on varieties? they arent cheap, and i will probably try some seeds, since i do have a long time line for this whole project. is the purple fussier that the jersey or other green varieties?

any good ideas from the brain trust?
