a bit late now to plant. Brussel sprouts may be possible, planting out small plants. Runner bean seeds should have gone in in early May. Probably better to borrow some gardening books from the library and be ready next year. A year is a small time for a gardener
The vegetables will actually be hugely expensive if you count even part of your time and they may not satisfy for quality but they are a talking point with your friends.
Soft fruit is rewarding so try some raspberry canes and strawberry plants. These will repeat each year and only need netting when fruiting to keep off the birds.
