Anyone have a successful deck garden? (beehaw.org)

I'm hoping next year to try to grow a few plants on my apartment's deck. It's half sun and I live in a temperate area where I've had family grow tomatoes, potatos, peas, beans, etc.

I feel like any fruit or veg that can grow on a trellis should, in theory, work. Anyone have any lived experience to share? I'm not terribly good with plants, so I also ask the question "should a novice tackle this kind of project"?

I have a black kitty too, your picture made me smile! Thank you so much for sharing! I could use some leafy greens now that you mention it. I love kale, I should check that out.
