Iv'e just cleared out the last of my tomato plants and some of the ones in the corner of my greenhouse didn't produce much, iv'e put this down to the lack of sunlight. So looking ahead, is there anything I can grow that's edible next year that will grow with limited sunlight ?. Thanks.

Might be worth trying some runner or french beans there, as they can take a bit of shade.
Or how about a large container with potatoes in it ? not the usual but may be worth experimenting.
Mushrooms are the first things that spring to mind ! ... have you thought of runner beans, once they have started you can trail then along string towards the light. I still have runners and french beans producing that have only been in the greenhouse about 5/6 weeks. My green house is quite dull as it's walls and roof dont have glass in them. I have replaced it with twin wall polycarbonate.

One end of my greenhouse is against a six foot solid fence so it only gets a little sunshine in the morning. I think the runner bean idea will be my best bet. Thank you both.
Personally I wouldn't put runner beans in the greenhouse unless you want them running all over other plants. I would keep persevering with the toms - mine weren't great this year due to low levels of light early on - that was the weather and nothing to do with the situation of the greenhouse.
