The important thing is to improve the soil so that what little you can grow has the maximum amount of micro-nutrients.

How much son do you get there? You might also be able to grow some herbs and lettuce and sorrel. Parsley... mint and lemonbalm and self-heal ...
Another thing you can do to save money is to resprout any veggies that you can...
Another thing to look for is edible weeds--like dandelion! They're often far more nutrient dense than normal foods, and are a great way to get a lot of nutrition for cheep/free....

So right now (off the top of my head) we have two blue berries, a couple varieties of mint and lemonbalm, oregano, basil, chives and some resprouted green onions 😉 our strawberries are store bought starters and a couple years old. Our darn kids keep eating the green berries 🙄 so we haven't gotten to enjoy many ripe ones yet.

I prefer planters that have some sort of integral water reservoir for efficiency, but I've grown lettuce, dwarf nasturtium and green onion, and I have a friend who grows a short snow pea with cute pink flowers in balcony planters.
