what will work best

I think your question needs to be a little more specific. Pots? Plants? Soil?

Welcome to NGA @s6chapie

Lots of vegetables can be grown in containers - many have varieties that have been specifically developed for that purpose. Is there anything you are particularly interested in growing?

Keep in your mind how large the plant will be when fully grown - most vegs need at minimum a 5 gal pot, or a 19"hi x 19" wide pot. Plant the vegs you want to be eating

The OP contacted me by treemail but I wanted to share so that everyone has a chance to add advice and info:

I think the kale should do fine in containers; turnips and collards are probably going to need quite a bit of room, with containers something like Kat described above.
