Sprouts, almost any type sprouts
Radishes, I would try all the varieties I can find
Garlic ,
Chives, leeks, onions,
Greens such as collard, mustard greens
Peanuts. Take about a month or two, best to grow in background while you grow something else on top.
That should get you started.
If I could grow indoors, under proper light, then I would grow tomatoes as well.
