I have been away from awhile and just read through all the postings... it seems like you are only going to be doing hostas and day lilies??..
I still do not understand why you cannot grow astibles.. they thrive in shade and some sunshine.. I have them in both places in my garden. as long as they get enough water.
I think you should try any plants that say partial shade that is what I did in the part of my garden that just gets that late afternoon sun..
You never now till you try

I started reading your reply and thought you were talking about EATING them!
Actually Daylily flower petals make colorful and tasty addition to salads. They were a great hit with the kids in a "Wildflower Salad" I took to a play date. Someone else was supposed to bring the lettuce, but she didn't, so it ended up being a big bowl of edible flowers and "weeds"! The kids particularly liked daililies and purslane -- one mom told me her daughter NEVER eats salads, and there she was, munching away! But don't worry, I don't make anybody (including my kids) eat anything they don't want to.
