You can plant anything that doesn't need a lot of depth. Many herbs and veggies don't have deep roots. My only concern is the lack of drainage. You could add some holes with a hammer and nails or electric drill. Strawberries would work too but they spread with runners. They like a lot of room. Succulents would be cute, you would have to be careful of overwatering if you don't add holes. Trailing annuals that spill over the sides would be nice, too, such as petunias, calibrachoa, fan flower, etc. Here are more ideas:
