    To start, I think my location means I'm in a completely different position to you climatewise

    But....

    From a few year of growing veg I would say the following:

    - Never wiorry about space, you can always grow something. If it's tiny then herbs. as soon as it's bigger than a window box you can grow more than that.
    - There seems to be types of squash that grow everywhere, but always need lots of water and possibly feeding if thye haven't had enough compost to starrt with. I had silly huge amounts of courgette (zucchini) this year. Some other winter squash - varies what they need but lost of water generally. others a few (a type of patty pan) needed more sun than others.
    - Beans - there will be types that will grow everywhere and lots. beans are fab. this year i have grown cherokee trail of tears - wow they are amazing. tasty and go on and on and on. rather than glut they have given me a steaday crop (for a single person).
    - tomatoes - great to grow because the taste is so much better. there are so many types - there's bound to be one that suits what you want
    - cabbages and brassicas - I wish I could comment but the caterpillars ate mine.

    this is just brief - but the main thing is just try and grow stuff, experiment and see what you can grow.
