Raised bed not getting any sun!

Hello, me again I'm afraid...(previous question about ants)

I've just realised that our new raised bed has been placed in a totally useless part of the garden! It's quite high and not very wide and was built to fill space between patio slabs and a new fence (space was from old Leylandi hedge). I wondered why the veg isn't growing very well despite being watered and this great weather and now realised half the bed doesn't see any sun due to the position of the fence and a wall at one end.

Is there anything that would be more suited to shade? Currently the radish is growing ok but the cauliflower and little gem aren't growing much at all.
