Pretty much all herbs are really easy to grow. Most thrive on neglect. Tomotoes, potatoes, chillies, aubergine, corn, and capsicum are really easy. Make sure you dont overwater them though. Every three or 4 days should be plenty once established.
Manure is essential. Pile it on and dig it in. Compost is also good to have. I reccomend luscerne straw as a mulch as it breaks down and adds nutrients to the soil. The plants i recommended seem to like a bit of potash and chicken manure in the soil too. A good idea would be to buy some marigolds and sweet alice as they ward away pests and attract beneficial insects like bees whilsts adding colour and making it look pretty.
