Kale is an example of this, you can continue to harvest from it all winter, even when it's freezing. A mature plants needs a lot of space, but as long as it is still quite small, it fits fine in one patch. By the time the plant becomes mega-sized, there will probably be enough space in your gardenbox.
This variety has a beautiful purple color and is super healthy.
This type of cabbage has few problems with diseases. But beware: Snails love the seedlings, and birds like the small plants too. Plus: you sow in the middle of the butterfly season: so regularly hunt for caterpillars. Or better yet: cover your box with an MM-muts, so that the butterflies cannot reach it.
If you leave the plants during the winter, they will not grow any further, but you can continue to harvest from them. And fresh vegetables in the winter: who doesn't want that?
You can finely chop young leaves through salads or add them to smoothies. It has a strong taste, so taste it first to check if you like it.
