I haven't set up the veggie and herb garden yet. That's this weekend's task. And i'm glad I waited becasue I am currently reading "Gaia's Garden" by Toby Hemenway, which is about "homescale permaculture". It's given me good ideas about what I'd like to do to maximize the benefits of having a garden.
I have also come across these website, which I liked:
