If you’re starting from “I’ve never grown a thing”, try to find a secondhand Aerogarden or other small hydroponic (plants grow in water not soil) system that takes care of most of it. Grow some herbs, basil works excellently.
It’s a lifelong process…start with small, functional things like an herb garden. Make tons of mistakes and kill tons of plants, most people do. But eventually, you’ll have a green thumb and will understand the thrill of producing your own things instead of relying on capitalism for everything.
Highly highly recommend a bread machine, a good bread knife and a small scale, for the same reasons (weighing your bread ingredients will reduce the frustration of inconsistency in bread).
Growing your own food and cooking are two revolutionary acts in a hyper capitalist world.

I would argue that growing your own food and NOT cooking it is even more revolutionary.
