My patio garden at work is going fairly well.
Here is a "front" and "back" photo of my rubbermade tote garden... containing SIX cucumber plants (Straight 8), a Muncho Nancho jalapeno, and Genovese Basil.
And here is a potted Sungold tomato plant growing vertically on a string tied to the rafters of the patio roof.
I also have a Celebrity tomato in the same size pot.
These plants all get direct sunlight from sunrise to around 1pm, and then they are shaded by the building the rest of the day. They seem to be doing very nicely, given that they only get 6 hours of sun.
