Container gardens and sunlight

Long story short we had a house fire so this year my very large 10-12 hours of sunlight garden is now a 8-13 apartment yard surrounded by 6' fence with horrible soil. So an all container garden it has to be this year. I have 5 "earthboxes" some grow bags and lots of plastic pots thanks to an OSH grand opening where they were 75% off plus discount coupons so a 22" pot cost me somewhere around $4. and they were giving away free 5 gallon buckets all weekend. Yes I took my husband all my kids for both days! Everyone got a free bucket! I have done some container gardening but like I said my yard had lots of sun. Right now I have a space that currently gets 6-6 1/2 of sun a day should be more as the days get longer. maybe 8- 8 1/2. but it is morning sun right now 8 am -2:30 pm will I be able to grow tomatos, corn (I found a corn seed made for containers) cucumbers,peppers, and squash in that area? I already plan on leafy greens for the areas that don't get as much sun.
