Default food is getting so expensive, what are some vegetables to grow in a town garden?

with the price of food getting more expensive each week.

what are some good veggies that aren't too intensive to grow, are tasty and a bit resistant to slug or insect attack.?

my neighbours have flower gardens so it can be hard to grow vegetables without getting loads of slugs, etc..

i currently only grow chilis and sweet peppers.

grow bags are great for tomatoes and they take very little room. You can have tomatoes from July to Oct. lettuce , scallions. early carrots and strawberry's. You could put some apple trees, blueberry bushes in large pots as well. Just make sure they are the dwarf variety. Enjoy

potatoes are dead easy and runner beans do not take up much space
I once grew carrots but they get carrot fly too easily so perhaps you should avoid them
oh and tomatoes are usually ok if you have a warm spot ot can make a small greenhouse
oh and strawberries in a pot
