If you want to start small, large pots (get the resin ones, ceramic ones are HEAVY) with herbs are a great way to ease into gardening.
After 2 years of growing herbs and a few odds and ends of flowers in existing beds, last year I built and planted a 4x8' raised bed. Organic soil and everything. I got great crops of hot peppers, zucchini and kale. The squirrels got my lettuces and most of my chard. The tomatoes were less prolific, but very tasty!
This year: More pots and possibly another raised bed.
