You could make a pizza garden, Grape or cherry tomatoes can be planted
upside down in a hanging basket, they look amazing and can grow as much as 6
feet down. Chives, oregano, basil, tyme (tyme is lovely and will also creep
down the sides). I would plant the tallest plant in the middle working your
way out to the smallest plant. Don't forget to turn your pot every few
days.
Gords, mini pumpkins, mini cukes are also nice and will vine all the way
down.
Best of luck.
