Get 2 of each starter plant you want, get used to the idea of death. I see many first time gardeners get overly emotional about a couple small plants, this amplifies the stress of failure too much.
Start with herbs. Things like oregano and basil give a huge flavor/effort payoff compared to fussy plants like tomatoes. They are very hearty and a little goes a long way.
After you get fresh herbs on hand for your kitchen, you won't ever want to go back.
