I was considering the tiny sugar pumpkins that wouldn’t be very heavy, or snow peas but chose some zucchini seeds. I’m thinking to stake them up or maybe improvise a lattice.
The milk crate pots are ingenious. I’d probably forget to water or have to bring them inside though so maybe not… I wouldn’t be able to lift the grow bags or the tyres but these are some good ideas
For me watering was a once a week sport. In very dry hot weather I’d kick the milk crates together to reduce evaporation but not much more than that. Peas/beans are reliable, productive and would be safe but would need a lattice of something to grow up. Lengths of string tied to the fence would do and be removable if you left the place.
Fun fact: beetroot leaves are delicious in salad when small and young. Can be cooked like spinach too. I sow beetroot pretty thickly and harvest most of them for leaves, only leaving a few well spaced out to make roots.
