Vegetables would be peppers. Fruits would be tomatoes.
Strawberries do well in containers,as do tomatoes,cucumbers,pretty much any vine based plant
raspberries and cherry tomatoes
Tomatoes do well in a 5 gallon bucket. Cucumbers do really well just have a big enough pot and enough room for it too vine out. Sqash would probably need to be done the same as the Cucumbers. Hope this helped you out.
Strooth, Morticia, the list is endless.
I somehow managed spring onions, elderberry, tiny spuds and a leek in balcony pots when living in a sixth floor apartment. Not exactly an allotement !
More ambisiously, I set away a banana tree when living in the Mid-East, in a big pot.
Well, it took off, so stuffed in the garden. It produced miniate bananas, about an inch long, in small clumps.
It was the focal point of "Bobs' tiny bananas" conversations.
Never mind, I went back there about 15 years later, and the thing had pucker fruit. "Grown in a pot, that was" I spake, but folks were unsure as to believe me or not.
All the familiar herbs seem to be OK in a window box, or small container, got some pots on the go with basil, thyme, mint, and even wild garlic. They seem alright given a bit more time.
Really you need an allotment or similar to do the job properly, but I stuck some wheat seeds in a window-bok type thing a couple of years ago, pestle & mortered the yellow seeds, and made two small buns from the flour.
Daft, but it was fun trying. !
All the best with it all,
Bob
Strawberries, blueberries (dwarf), tomatoes, peppers, chives, parsley, basil, lemon balm, chamomile, rosemary, swiss chard, lettuce, spinach, kale. There are likely other types of dwarf fruit trees that are appropriate for a container on a patio, but it would depend on your zone which would work for you.

Nowadays one finds such a large variety of mini veg, such as green peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers. Dwarf beans, snap peas, the odd head of lettuce, hanging strawberries, a pot of herbs, rosemary, lavender, basil, parsley and chives. Even single stem fruit trees (ballerina) apples, or pears, peaches or nectarines. It all depends how much sun you have and how much space for your plants. We have even had a good crop of potatoes in a 20 litre bucket (which we started off in late winter in the basement) Even carrots can look decorative with their foliage.Visit a local marketor nursery and try a few seedling plants of your favourite veg.
beans are the easest to grow but thay need somthing to grow up
