Start with a patch of ground and some good, rich compost mixed in with the native soil. We built a 12'x12' bed last year and grew scarlet runner beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, spinach, radishes, basil, cilantro, arugula, carrots, green onions, yellow onions and four kinds of lettuce. This year we added two 3'x3' beds for strawberries and raspberries and the herbs and added a couple varieties of peas to the large bed. The directions for when and how to plant are on each seed packet (I recommend doing tomatoes and bell peppers from seedlings instead, but we've had great success with seeds on everything else.) Beyond that, it's trial and error. You'll figure out what works well in your area of the country and what doesn't work so well.

its a lot of fun and easy, even if you don't have a yard!!
I've been growing tomato plants in pots on my landing this summer, and they're turning out beautiful!!
it may be a bit late this season (depends where you live!)
but all you need to get started is some potting soil (it really does make a difference, I've tried just topsoil and not gotten the same results - it'll be clearly marked on the bag) and either a patch of ground or some big cheap plastic flower pots.
a lot of plants, like peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, etc. you can buy "ready to grow" - no messing around with seeds - just plant and water! Potatoes are really easy, too - just take a potato, and put it in the dirt!
Take a visit to your local garden store and see what they have, usually they'll be more than happy to help you get started!
Best of luck!!

My mom grows vegetables in her garden every year. It's definitely worth trying once. Freshly grown veggies are always more delicious than what you get at the store - there's just no beating it, and there's a certain satisfaction in having grown it yourself too.
