Whatever you do, don’t forget cabbage.
Basically a weed - preferring cool climates, that makes it near perfect for northern areas.
Most folks are so used to seeing “head lettuce” and big heads of cabbage that they don’t realize these are the exceptions. In my experience, head lettuce or cabbage is highly prone to insects and rot.Leaf lettuce and especially cabbage can have even better yields.
And the cabbage leaves I harvest now for my salads and my soups are SUPER! Very sweet and tender, not a hint of bitterness. Not to mention that given the right conditions, the cruciferous vegetables are basically perennials. I had a broccoli growing against a fence that sprouted for four years in a row.

Here the heads will not grow, even in the greenhouse.
I was careful to choose lettuce and all greens that could have a few leaves removed from each plant, almost daily.
The oriental greens are excellent for the cut and come again garden, they are mostly loose leaf.
I had a Bell Pepper plant that became a tree and lived several years, in the greenhouse.
Tomato plants, at least the Cherry tomatoes always lived two years in the greenhouse and all year, I cut off great loads of the branches.
I even had the multiplying onions [green] for several years.
