What to grow?

[Jersey Devil]

I received a planter as a gift It is 2'x4' and 7 inches deep. I know absolutely nothing about herbs and spices...and I mean nothing !! All I need are some suggestions as to what to plant in them and then I will study up on them. I can put it where there is plenty of sun (8 hrs) especially morning sun. I am learning that differant items have differant soil depth requirements so I need suggestions for 7 inches of soil. I will eat just about anything so fire away lol. Just kinda lazy so I would prefer plants that don't need too much attention. But I am able to water every day if necessary. Maybe a few things I can cut off and throw into dinner all Summer long. Thanks

Look up Mediterranean herbs. Oregano, thyme etc. they are low maintenance as long as you keep them clipped so they don’t flower and go to seed.
You’ll want very free draining soil and lots of sunlight.

TYVM I have researched and come up with basil, thyme, flatleaf parsley and rosemary. But that is based on whatever I could peice together on the internet. Don't know if its right . But I would love to grow oregano. I studied the planter and I can easily increase its depth to about 9 inches. But I thank you for your response

My first herb was sweet basil. I used in spaghetti you can taste the fresh basil geneovese. It's amazingly tasty, am easy to grow an learn to save seeds. For a beginner, you like plants that don't need attention. One I think would be a good choice is cilantro. It can grow with grass. It's very delicious when tender
