I'd suggest the book, "Square Foot Gardening."   It's designed for exactly this and can give much more information than a simple response here.

Answer 3

Potatoes, them buggers can grow anywhere!!!!

Answer 4

barbed wire seeds are good

Answer 5

You can always start lettuces.  Cool weather is best for them, but you can grow them through the summer as long as they have a semi-shaded spot (morning sun only, or less than 4 hours total is best)

Radishes are also very easy, and fast.  They like sun.  Sow every 3 weeks for a constant supply.

You may have enough time to sow cucumbers, squashes and beans from seed (all sun lovers).  But tomatoes and peppers - it's too late for this year, you'd need to start them in early spring, or buy the plants in late spring.

"Fruit" generally means a large amount of space.  Tree fruits grow on trees - and even dwarf trees...one would take up all that space.  Berries generally grow on vines and brambles, and also take up a lot of room.
