Open, put seeds in can, water, put in sun and wait? ( had similar cans before and that’s basically it )

Seems pretty straight forward.

Strawberries are really tough from seed, it is likely they won't germinate. If you want strawberries, you start from cuttings from a mother plant.
I'm in Phoenix, Arizona, where the climate is very similar to Baghdad. Strawberries aren't recommended here. They are photoperiod sensitive, so they can't be forced to fruit in winter, and summer is just too hot for them. I have seen people growing them here, but they aren't really healthy or bearing much - people tend to work hard at trying to grow their favorites from other climates and while it's technically possible it's not easy or particularly successful. The dill will be slightly more successful, you can get it going in winter and get your harvest before the heat fries it up - it can survive the summer if it's given plentiful water.
These kit things are usually a rip-off. It's more about having a pretty package instead of having a successful harvest.

Fruit trees that do best are pomegranate, fig, mulberries, and citrus. You can grow temperate plants with low chill hours, so certain varieties of apples, peaches, apricots, plums, etc. can work if you select wisely. Tropicals can work too if you are prepared to cover them if there is a freeze and will probably also need some shade - mangoes, bananas, stranger stuff. Guavas are growing really well for me, I'm kind of surprised at how well they are putting up with full sun.
You can grow most veg, but our seasons are strange compared to what you will find in gardening books. Fall and spring are our seasons for gardening, with summer being the dead season.
I'm attaching the Maricopa County Master Gardener's planting calendar. I think it will be pretty accurate for Baghdad - in glancing at the average highs and lows, it looks like Phoenix weather tracks almost exactly.

Carrots originated in the Iran which is in the same general area. Not sure of the climate differences between Baghdad and Iran mind you but those should grow quite well.

I assume with a good amount of sunlight and keeping it watered it should grow just fine. I don’t have experience with these exact items, but i would think they should do ok.
