What about salad leaves? Lettuces that you can cut-and -come again. They grow quite quicly, but wouldn't stand any frost, of course.

Yes, that is a good idea. Lettuce that you can cut off of every couple days and then spinach after it gets a little to cool for lettuces. Spinach will tolerate quite cool temps.
