DIRECT GARDENING SUPPLIES

Some questions about gardening!! Please help!?
Hi! I would like to start some veggies and herbs in pots on my patio. I have a lot of space in the backyard in direct sunlight too if needed. I just rent instead of owning so I don’t want to plant in the ground.
What veggies and herbs are the easiest to grow?
What supplies do I need to get started?
Which grow best in my environment? (I live on Oahu, Hawaii, about 100 yards from the beach, 80 degrees year round…lots of salt in the air)
I’m mostly interested in growing everyday cooking herbs like parsley, basil, rosemary, cilantro and chives would be awesome. Veggie wise I would love to grow bell peppers, jalapenos, tomatoes (cherry or roma?), and other ones that would work well in pots.
I have never tried to grow anything in my life, but I love to cook and I hate having to run to the store for green onions, peppers and stuff like that all the time, so any advice is greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you so much!!!

You can grow all plants you listed year round in Hawaii. For green onions, just plant the bulbs the next time you get them from the grocery, then just cut the tops off as you need them. You can use seeds from other fresh veggies, buy plants in 6packs, or get seeds from Wal-Mart/ Home Depot etc. Plastic pots are fine—small for herbs, larger for veggies. Tomatoes need large cages and peppers can use smaller cages. Good Luck! Lise from Texas
