Gardening is a fun hobby my wife & I have taken up over the past several years. You probably will never grow an entire meal, and that's fine. You'll still feel satisfaction in going outside with a bowl and coming inside with what will become a salad or a side.
Pick something easy – when I started with zero knowledge I tried some of the harder plants like asparagus and celery and managed to get nothing, but I stuck with it after I realized I couldn't kill my Swiss chard or lettuce or collards if I tried. And don't start off trying to grow from seed. Get starts from a plant store - more expensive, but less likely to die off.
Many of those easier plants are also amenable to growing in a five gallon pot, which is perfect for when you don't have a ton of space to work with, or if you just want to dip your toe in.
