hi- fruit trees fine- but chose small varieties- get ones grown on dwarf rootstocks if you can- the garden centre will give you some advice. and try and go for self-pollinating varieties- cox's orange is a nice apple to try. (also you could try peach and fig- both good in large pots)
runner beans, toms, pepper, chillis, aubergine will be fine- not sure about potatoes- although you might get a few baby ones-probably too late for this year tho'- i have grown carrots in pots-good-but just baby ones again- nice tho'.
also not sure about pumpkins and courgettes as they need a bit of ground, but someone else might have tried it.
sure you'll get lots more tips- good luck :-)
