Default What can I grow in a 1" wide, 4" deep hole?

hi guys!

I know nothing about gardening and my back garden is just concrete

In the middle though is a hole where a rotary clothesline was.

It's full of mud and so a small weed has grown in it, lovely!

What can I plant in its place, I want the biggest/tallest thing
possible.

It's for a bit of a laugh and not expecting much but anything better
than a weed would be good

1" wide, 4" deep. Suggestions?

Thanks guys!

Where are you? What is your climate? Even in the UK, there are
significant variations in climate between the north and south and
between the Channel and the Irish Sea.

Also, what is below the 4"? More concrete, dirt, gravel?

This is NOT an impossible situation. I have some nice plants growing --
and flowering -- in small spaces.
