You’ll have better results with cool-weather crops indoors over winter. Lettuce, Spinach, Kale, Arugula, etc. Leaf-lettuces are easier to grow as you can use them as ‘cut and come again’ plants. Anything that ‘heads’ such as the Buttercrunch can be problematic.

I do a lot of sprouting and grow microgreens (for cutting) in the winter months.

It’s fun to experiment - so if you hit upon something that works really well indoors in winter, let us know! :)

I've had wonderful luck with Black Seeded Simpson lettuce over the years. (Outdoors, of course.)
Pull off the biggest leaves & eat 'em. Let the rest keep growing.
That why they were the first seeds in the dirt in this indoor wintertime garden experiment!

I'll keep you posted & informed as this endeavor 'sprouts' forward....

In the past I've grown them outdoors in 3 gallon pots with success. So....
