I gotta be honest, you're getting a late start. You'll want to make sure as often as possible you get the later-season varieties of each fruit/vegetable.

You might still be able to pull off watermelon, which is a must in this part of the country. Pumpkins should be really easy.

In terms of plot size, I would definitely start small while you figure out if the family enjoys this avocation.
