4 hours of sun... is that enough for a vegetable garden?

I would like to attempt my first square foot garden next season. I have a number of large trees on my property, which keeps a good part of it shaded. The location of the garden gets diffused sun all morning but gets 4 hours of full midday sun: 11am-3pm. Will this be enough for a square foot garden?

I would like to grow tomatoes, peppers, basil and other herbs, garlic, onions, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, eggplant, melons, pumpkins, squash, and zucchini.

I've heard that you can put aluminum foil down to get more sunlight and keep pests away.

Any advice would be appreciated!!!!
