I'm completely new to gardening and have no idea where to start. Can anyone give me (or point me to) a step-by-step plan for a small edible garden?

To give you an idea of what I'm looking for: Should I do raised beds or plant directly in the ground? If I sow in the ground, do I need to pull the grass out or what? What should I plant next to what? I'm thinking I want some Italian herbs, maybe a green (kale?), possibly a squash or sweet potato. I'm open to suggestions! What's easy to begin with? I live in Virginia, and my yard has a mixture of shade and sun. 

Thank you, truly, for any advice for a newbie like me. I think this would be a wonderful activity for my family.
