None grow well in full shade. Leafy vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, collards, mustard greens, spinach, and parsley can tolerate the most shade; plant in partial sun areas with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. Root vegetables such as turnips, beets, radishes, carrots, and onions need more sun than the leafy vegetables, plant in partial sun areas with 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. The fruit-bearing vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash, and eggplant need full sun, at least 8 hours per day.
Many herbs grow well without much sun. Mint plants, for example, grow well in the shade. So do sage, dill, oregano, borage, chamomile and several kinds of thyme.
Some fruits also do well without a lot of sunlight. In the United States, blueberries, raspberries, and several kinds of pears need only a little sun each day. In Asia, the hardy kiwi grows well in the shade.

Usually none of them. You might have limited success with greens like lettuce and spinach because they have enough leaf surface to gather all the available light. If you want to grow veggies you need a minimum of 6 hours of sun perday...8 is better.

None really. You can usually get away with lettuce in a partially shaded area, but they still need some sun.

Most root vegetables like carrots,turnips,parsnips and potatoes. Greens like cabbages,sprouts and spinach should be OK. Veg that need flowers to be pollinated like peas and beans should be in a sunnier spot.
