Maximise Yield from a Windowsill or Micro Growing Space

A single windowsill or one grow-light shelf can feed you more than you think, if you pick the right crops. Tell it the space you have and it compares the best candidates on harvest time, yield per centimetre, light needs and regrowth, then tells you what to plant to keep something edible going year-round.

I have only a {space_description} (e.g. south-facing windowsill 60cm wide, a single grow-light shelf, a small kitchen countertop) and want to grow as much edible produce as possible year-round. Compare the top crop candidates for this micro-environment across the following criteria: days to harvest, yield per 10cm of space, light requirement (lux / hours), water and nutrient demands, regrowth potential after cut-and-come-again harvest, and flavour payoff relative to shop-bought. Present this as a scored comparison table, then recommend an optimal crop rotation or succession plan for the space across four seasons. Include one advanced technique (e.g. kratky hydroponics, microgreen stacking trays, wicking reservoirs) that would significantly increase output without major cost.
