Although I had a bit of lettuce/spinach on hand I have ordered the following items (from mypatriotsupply dot com). I used this site because they package in high quality containers that are better than the usual paper envelopes and also they give a LOT of seed for the cost. All of their seeds are GMO free. I have started some lettuce inside for a goof (and because hey, I wanted to plant SOMETHING, lol).
Remember, lettuce and spinach go in/on the ground on Valentine's Day! (if there's snow just sow it directly on there, it'll be ok)
Bean (Bush): Blue Lake Green Bean (2oz, 150 seeds) $2.19
Beets: Detroit Dark Red (5g, 260 seeds) $1.97 ***
Carrot: Danvers 1/2 Long (1g, 800 seeds) $1.97
Corn: Golden Bantam Yellow Sweet Corn (2oz, 250 seeds) $2.19
Cucumber: Straight Eight (4g, 140 seeds) $1.97
Lettuce: Black Seeded Simpson Leaf Lettuce (1g, 900 seeds) $1.97
Onion: Red Burgundy (500mg, 145 seeds) $1.97
Pea: Lincoln Shell Sweet Pea (1OZ, 100 seeds) $1.97
Pepper: California Wonder Bell (500mg, 70 seeds) $1.97
Tomato: Beefsteak (500mg, 180 seeds) $1.97
Watermelon: Sugar Baby (3g, 75 seeds) $2.19
Zucchini: Black Beauty Summer Squash (5g. 50 seeds) $1.97
***beets purchased at the request of a cousin who doesn't have time to garden.

We have a nice sized yard and zero gardening tools. If I had to cut a blade of grass I'd need to use my office scissors.

You should consider some raised beds. You can make them pretty cheaply.
Here is a site dedicated to "square foot gardening", which is what really got me into this years ago.
http://www.squarefootgardening.org/
(I'd not buy their kits, but the info is great)

Growing season starts for me in late September/early October. My garden has done really crappy this year 
Last year I had tons of stuff. This year barely any lettuce and my tomatoes have been awful.

Taking this year off and composting to revitalize the soil. Most of it anyways, not all. They can only take my fresh cilantro over my dead body.

My strawberry plants got pwnt by the Big Breeze of '11 sadly. New place (well, I lived here years ago) and new garden from scratch.
Also, if you're worried about building your soil, do not overlook Miracle Gro. They have an organic product if that's something that's kept you from using it before.
Tomatoes love iron. Push a nail down in the ground next to each stem and the rust will feed them while repelling cutworms. Or you could just magnet up filings from a grinding wheel and spread it in the planting soil.
Ptilk: Buying stuff almost NEVER is as good as stuff that is raised. The only exception is something like farmers markets and/or organic stores. There is a HUGE cost associated with getting crap from "organic" sources, usually.
Plus, there is a great feeling of contentment to be found in a garden. It's a tonic for the soul. You seem angry enough most of the time that you could probably benefit from a garden, lol.

Great plan! if that doesn't put enough lead in your families diet you can always use a good pealing lead paint as a supplement...."gotta keep them young-uns voten republican"! 
Don't do that there are alot of iron supplements that don't add lead,arsenic and other unwanted materials.

I stopped gardening after the year I made the mistake of planting mint which I discovered is actually a weed 
I've done better with flowers.
