Which Vegetables Can I Grow in a Shady Balcony?

Question

I have a west facing balcony, ground floor, flanked by trees on the compound wall. . . so gets a limited sunlight in the winter. I was wondering which plants can I grow in the balcony, apart from leaves like lettuce and spinach (please suggest fruit and root species). I do get 3-4 hour of afternoon sun though.

There are not too many vegetables or fruits that will grow in the shade. That said, here is some information that may help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/vgen/shade-vegetables.htm
