vegetables to grow in the shade

I have 3 new raised beds to add to my ever-growing garden.
They get good sun in the morning but not a whole lot in the afternoon. I was wondering what vegitables would grow the best in those conditions.

Many of the things that say the require full sun can do fine in partial sun. I grow leeks and garlic which say they require full sun in the shade its actually mottled light as there is a heavy canopy of trees and I plant them at the base around the trees and they do fine. They are usually smaller bulbs and smaller leeks than the ones I have in my garden beds in full sun but they taste just as good.
My point is things may grow in the shade but might not be as full or large as full sun items. Try experimenting with what you have.
