How about something you wouldn't normally grow ? Then if it doesn't work out at least you haven't dug up the garden or wasted precious space.
Every year I try to grow a few different things, this year its purple podded peas, fennel, scorsonneria...scorsoneeria..scor..salsify kinda stuff
All very exciting

Boxes like this are good for carrots which notoriously fork whenever they a) get too much feed or b) encounter the smallest stone. With fine, seived compost you can get a fantastic carrot crop. Easy to cover against carrot fly too, when they are in a container.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Or you could use it for cut and come again lettucy type things. I pick up fish boxes from the local poissonier every Saturday and have all sorts of things growing in them now, including beans. I've even started painting the outside of the boxes so they look better close to the house.TonyF, Dordogne 24220

It would be good to plant a mix of salad (lettuce/radish/spring onion etc.) a bit later in the year. Then you could move it into the greenhouse in autumn when it started getting colder and extend your cropping season
Left where it is you could put tumbling toms in.
