too much light?

Our elderly neighbor has had a street-light installed in her yard.  It is
nice to have the extra light for security reasons. But since the edge of
our garden is only 15 or 20 feet from the light, the garden never has a
time of darkness.  (I mean, I can take a book out into the garden and
read--I tried it last night.)  I know that onions are sensitive to the
numbers of light, but is that true of any other garden vegetables?  Being
a Southern gardener, I normally raise short-day onions--will I now have
to switch to a long-day variety, or will they even resent the excessive
light?  I'm just trying to figure out how this is going to affect my
gardening, if at all.  Thanks for any words of wisdom.
