IMO you’re best luck would be in Large pots 15 gallon or bigger where you can control the soil and watering using meter. Most designer property’s have very little garden space in back. CYV’s have space for pots behind walls or on you’re screened in porch. Most pots with vegetables can’t take afternoon sun do to the heat especially black pots.

Tomatoes IMO are hardest due to heat, blight, and whiteflies. Peppers seems to do good I have 4 to 6 varieties, but summer heat and white flies can destroy them if you can’t control them.

Coming from Washington you will find it lot harder down here for back yard garden IMO.
