What can I grow in a tiered planter?

What can I grow in this sort of planter?

For a while I was growing strawberry mint in it, and it was thriving, except for the fact that as it turns out, we don't really use mint that often, so I would forget to water it because I didn't really need it

But I want to actually grow and use what I grow! So what are some things that I can grow in here? It's living on the northeast facing balcony so it does have some major limitations, but I'd still love for it to have /something/ going on in it.

Please send any ideas to me (at) harrison (dot) cafe! It's late in the year here in Los Angeles, but I'm hoping there are still some things we can grow. Also open to flowers as ideas because I can't imagine there being 20 different herbs I plant.
