buy plants your first time so you dont get discouraged. Read the label so you understand how much room each plant needs to grow & how much sunlight and how many days the plant grows before harvest. Start out with tomatoes(Cherry), zucchini, eggplant, and peppers. The easiest seeds are sugar snap peas, cucumbers, radish-again read the label and follow carefully for best results. Most gardeners experience is by trial and error. Dont expect perfection for many years to come. good luck!
