This spring my studycoach gave me the seedling of a cherry tomato plant, and I think seeing that happen (I ate some yummy mini tomatoes)  might have triggered my interest in growing more veggies. I don't have a garden, but I have space for a bunch of pots on the ledge in front of the house, so that's going to be my 'container garden' type thing.
The stuff on the left is in sight most so that is what needs the most care, ie the food section. The right is reserved for more robust stuff as I'm likely to look at it less.

A - empty right now. Will have garlic and maybe radish for autumn/winter. Unless I think of something else.
B - (decorative). Physalis alkekengi - Lantern Plant. I just got this because I like the look of it. Will be moved out of the food section by spring, is just standing there because the pot fits nicely into the gap.
C - Salad trough. Have planted Little Gem but I think to deeply, so will redo over the next few days. Probably some veldsla (corn salad?) and some Little Gem.
D - cherry tomato plant. Might look for something with a higher yield for next year.
E 1 Thyme
2 Lavender
3 Lemon balm
4 Will be chives, as soon as I nick some from my mother
5 Don't know yet. Depends on space.
F - (decorative) - planted some nice bulbs here.
G - mini rock garden my mother made for me. It's not doing great and I intend to empty it in spring and reuse the pot, possibly for something largish like a courgette plant.

I'm planning to get a dwarf fruit tree for spring, just haven't decided yet what sort would actually give me edible and tasty fruit, even if not much. Plum perhaps? Cherry? Will see.
