tomato peppers egg plant. i'v not had good luck with corn , some squash did well as did the bush type cukes
Tomatoes, egg plant, or swiss chard. Just make sure you chose a bigger pot to give your veggie plenty of room.
Tomatoes, strawberries, cucumbers will a trellis.
I have had good luck with tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, herbs, lettuce. Just make sure that you water and fertilize them, as in pots they are more needy than in the ground. I wouldn't do carrots, green beans or corn as you would not get enough crop out of a pot to be worth it. You can do viney veggies as long as you have a large enough trellis to hold the weight of the fruit. As stated before, use large enough pots to support the roots of the mature plants.
Strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, melons, provided they are at least whiskey barrel size planters.
