In a reply to Suggest fruit plantings please
Have you considered fruiting hedges? They provide a barrier and create a frame around a garden at the same time as providing fruits such as Loganberries, Grapevines and Blackberries.

In a reply to Lettuce and shade
If sunny space is at a premium in your yard, save it for true sun lovers like tomatoes and peppers. I grow most of my lettuce in part shade, even mostly shade. It takes longer to mature there, but it also lasts longer in the heat of summer, well into July (in SW Connecticut). You can see a photo of my shady salad bar in my blog post at VegetableGardener.com (FineGardening.com's sister site): http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/3911/grow-lettuce-from-seed
