For any garden I suggest spices like basil and such, and a fruit or vegetable of your choice.

Basil is good with just about everything... Meats, it's used in soups... Basil is one of the essential spices to have in any garden... Along with Thyme, Oregano, Sage, Echinacea (immune system booster), Chives, Mint, etc...

Yeah basil is the all around awesome herb.

you can use it to make sweet tea (calming), italian dishes, desserts

and there is a lot of dirrent interesting variaties to grow.
You can get the big spinach leaf ones or the mexican purple basil (green with purple buds) or the purple oak basil (all purple) you can grow genovese basil (broad leaves) the irish basil (likes cold weather and lots of water) and the great part is that its not difficult to grow at all.

Mint and chives are also pretty easy to grow.

You can also try growing chamomile, but thats a bit harder to grow. needs lots of sun and such

For the fruit, it depends. Whats the weather like were you live?

What sort of space do you have for growing veggies? Especially in terms of climate/warmth, humidity, soil type (acidic vs. limy), sun hours, orientation/amount of shade etc. That may help identifying crops that will do well in your situation.

Regardless of the above, I've always had success with tomatoes, zucchinis, bell peppers, several pulses/beans, lettuce, certain kinds of cabbage (usually attacked heavily by caterpillars), and so on and so forth.

indeed, leafy greens are forgiving and grow pretty well just about anywhere even if they are pestered by little critters...such as my cat who keeps eating my plants. . .

For an herb garden I'd recommend:
Chamomile (Matricaria recutita)Anti-inflammatory, soothing, sedative, digestive
Spearmint (Mentha spicata)Digestive, mind stimulant/headaches, soothing
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) Pleasant lemon-scented mint, anti-anxiety, soothes nerves, anti-anxiety, light anti-depressant, sedative. Makes a nice iced tea alone or with black tea.
St Johns Wort (Hypericum perforatum) not just for depression, you can make an deep red infused oil from the flowering tops for topical application for all kinds of issues
Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) Anti-viral, respiratory/bronchial issues
Garlic (Allium sativum) Anti-Bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, lowers cholesterol, helps prevent heart disease, stimulant, blood cleanser
Echinacea (Echinacea spp.) Nice ornamental flower, immune-stimulant root, anti-tumor

Some not-so-hard entheogens to grow are
Mugwort (Artemesia Vulgaris) Increases dream activity, strengthens the mind's eye
Passionflower (Passiflora Incarnata) Sleep inducing, helps silence the mind in meditation so one can go 'deeper', contains traces of harmala alkaloids (MAOI), also strengthens mushroom trips (be careful)
Morning Glories (Ipomoea Tricolor) Seeds contain LSA, a few vines should yield enough seeds for a couple of trips

And although I don't recommend internal use I LOVE growing daturas. East to grow, beautiful flowers which exude plenty of sexy fragrance once the sun goes down, interesting looking seed pods. You don't have to take it internally to learn from it as it's presence is SO STRONG, you can just try to build a rapport with the spirit of the plant and grow it to honor it's presence. Just smelling the flowers will leave you light-headed and spacey, very intoxicating/hypnotic perfume. You can pray to the plant for guidance and take a big whiff of the flowers before sleeping or meditating on the issue, answers will come. Just don't give in to her seduction, cause she could fuck you up.

Also Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum Annuum) is a good addition to a veggie garden, the hot chili varieties are very healthful and delicious.

EDIT: I totally agree with the above comments on basil, I absolutely love growing the stuff. There's so many different cultivars and varieties each with their own unique traits and characteristics. Purple basil, lemon basil, sweet basil, spicy basil, Holy Basil. It's a cool plant to grow. Not to mention Italians (and many other cultures) consider basil auspicious and keeping a plant in the house is said to bring luck, love, and happiness to those who dwell therein; a basil plant is a common house-warming gift given to others as a gesture of best wishes in their new home. Love it.:thumbup:
