I don't know what area you are in so I'm not sure what kind of fall weather you will be facing. Why not try some leeks or carrots. They should be cost effective if you plant from seed. That spaghetti squash sounds like a winner too.

I just planted my carrots last week in containers. I didn't seed them until September last year so this is really an experiment to see how they handle being planted so early.
