To summarize: ginger, green (what we Brits would call spring) onion, garlic, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, leeks, celery, Basil, mint, Rosemary, oregano, sage, thyme.

My father maintains that an uncle of ours who grew potatoes was rabid about not using shop bought potatoes as they could carry disease. I've grown some by accident (don't put whole potatoes in your compost folks) and they had a little rust but still perfectly edible. Lettuce I think you need closed headed lettuce like romaine. This is all just what I've heard so I'm open to correction by others.

From my experience, lettuce will bolt as soon as it starts regrowing.

Herbs are super awesome to start, because you take off most of the leaves, and definitely all the big ones, and stick in the ground. I also took off way more of the leaf matter than he did.
