Grow them in large pots - better still, half-barrels. You can get bags to grow potatoes in, and if it's a sunny area, strawberry pots for both strawberries and herbs.
I know that some members have built raised beds with large timber. You can also buy kits to do this.
There are plenty of things you can do!

Just another tip. If you want to grow fruit trees, use Spritz' advice on half barrels, or Bob's advice on tubs and raised beds and plant 'family trees'. 3 different types of apple or pear on the same dwarfing rootstock. They pollinate each other and take up little space.

Lisa, I have just read your profile, I see you want chickens, perhaps you might be better off getting bantams as you are in a confined space.

Are you able to make drainage holes in the concrete?. Tubs, troughs and raised beds may be part of the answer. If you have room, a cold frame or greenhouse could also be used.
