Cherry tomatoes are rewarding if you have enough sun. They need support and consistent watering, but they produce a lot. Start with one plant, not six.

Herbs count as edible gardening. Basil, mint, parsley and chives are satisfying because you actually use them in meals. Just keep mint in a pot or it may spread everywhere.

Leaf lettuce is a good beginner crop because it grows quickly and you can harvest small amounts at a time. It also works in containers if you do not have a big garden.
