Short n' Sweet, Tiny Sweet... Orange carrots ranging from 21/2" to 3" long.
Corn
Golden Midget... This cultivar only gets a few feet tall yet produces about 5" ears.
Cucumber
Bush Crop... A compact patio type plant with 8" cukes for slicing.
Eggplant
Hansel or Gretel...Compact plants where fruit can be picked from 3" to 10" lengths.
Bambino... Small, dark fruits that are great for shish-ka-bobs.
Peas
Sugar Daddy... A 2' tall plant that produces loads of snap peas.
Tomatoes
Tiny Tim and Tumblin' Tom... Cherry type tomatoes great in containers or hanging baskets.



If you google miniature or midget vegetable seeds, there are lots of them out there now a days.
I grew Hansel, Gretel, and Fairytale in my front flower bed last year. They all stayed nice and compact. Not much production...but here I get way better from eggplants in pots. Cute little plants though. And the fruits were small enough to grill whole or cut in half.
