Herbs, Fruit and Veg Help!?

I have quite a big garden. Anyway, yesterday, i was wondering round picking of the dead heads of the flowers. I then found a little mint and chives herb plants. I realized that there was lots of space with good soil and plenty of sunlight there to grow herbs, fruit and veg. So now i really want to grow them. The only problem is that i don’t know what time of year to grow them and weather they will survive in the winter. I think herbs will last all year round but i am not sure. Lemon grass, Basil, Sage, Thyme, Coriander, Mint, Chives, Oregano, Tarragon and Parsley are all the herbs i can think of. Do you know anymore and if theses ones will last in the winter? Potatoes, Sweet potatoes, Carrots, and Spring onions are all the veg i can think of. Do you know anymore that are easy to grow and again if the will survive? Thank you. And remember to suggest things that are EASY to grow. Cheers.

Case Scenerio: Do you think I have an eating disorder?

During infantcy I had an few accident that tossed my posture off a bit, after I grew I fixed the problem and have excellent posture but I’m 5’10″ and when I reach or exceed 134 lbs. I have tinnitus (ringing ear noises) and my jaw and joints crack and pop and I get TMJ problems. As a result I always try to keep myself between 126 to 130 lbs, I exercise daily (often over exercise) and am extremely fit, but I consume less than 600 calories per day and fast when I exceed 130 lbs. Even when weight is on me due to pure muscle mass I run into the same problems and feel horrible, so to keep weight I care less how the weight comes off as long as its off. I take supplemental vitamins and herbs daily and eat nutritously so my nutrition levels are quite high. I often think I am fat when exceeding 130 lbs. but that has become learned behavior to help me maintain weight. My bone ends at joints are slightly misformed so there isn’t a good solution. Do you think I am anorexic or have an ED?
Even though I consume less than 600 calories a day, I’d think the vitamins and herbs I take more than make up for any nutritional deficiency and my body absorbs such supplements quite well. Doctors are worthless in my opinion, I have a long history of them not doing much of anything good for me. Also, most anorexics don’t have a bottom weight limit they never go beyond and I never allow myself to go under 126 lbs. (I get nose bleeds at 124 lbs.).

When it comes to bone density and the like, I have anything but brittle bones, mine are very strong.
