Good rule to remember is that if you grow a plant for the fruit or the root, it needs full sun.
If you grow it for the leaves, stems, or buds, a little shade will be just fine.

Governor Kitzhaber proclaims September 15-21 Organically Grown in Oregon Week

A salute to organic agriculture in Oregon
http://www.oregon.gov/ODA/Pages/news/130911organic.aspx
Organically Grown in Oregon Week highlights an important and expanding ag sector

At one time, organic agriculture may have been considered by some to be a fringe sector of the industry with a narrowly-focused market base.

Governor Kitzhaber has proclaimed September 15-21 to be Organically Grown in Oregon Week, another indicator that organic agriculture is something to celebrate.
