Virginia Grow Zone 7a Shade vs Full Sun

[DixieLou]

I am new to Virginia and my recent move has a partial sun garden due to shade from homes, trees and sheds. I have built full sun raised beds within the yard for tomatoes, melons, and squash but must place other plants into partial shade garden. Are there other members onboard who may be willing to state their failures or successes with this and the hot summer sun Virginia has, or bugs to be careful of? By partial shade I mean 4 to 6 hours or less, growing cabbage, broccoli, some tomatoes, cucumbers, and zucchini. :confused:
