You can do that with a lot of plants, almost any herb. If you are interested I highly recommend this book, it has directions on how to turn your table scraps into plants. I have a mango tree, an avocado tree, and several other things going.

"Don't Throw it, Grow It!"
A word of caution...I tried kiwi the way it said and they rotted, but that was probably my fault. I tried lychees too, and they didn't do anything @ all. I haven't tried anything else. It is a nifty book though.
It's better to find some with the roots attached, but if not, put them in water until small roots start to sprout out then plant them or you could use a rooting compound.
And there's no such thing as a green or black thumb, plants will grow as long as you know the conditions they need in order to live. You should pick up Don't Throw It, Grow It!, it's a pretty helpful book for inspiring kitchen gardeners such as yourself.
Actually, the investment doesn't have to be big at all. There is a new book out called "Don't Throw It, Grow It!" which basically shows you how to start a garden using scraps from store-bought vegetables. (It's about $5, used.) And as far as fishing goes, buy used ("vintage") gear and make your own tackle (See http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/ and https://www.jannsnetcraft.com/CatalogRequest.aspx). I just found 8 used fishing rods available for $50 on Craigslist in Baltimore (under sporting goods) edit: I hit the jackpot - $25 for everything needed to go fishing: http://baltimore.craigslist.org/spo/3260672986.html) , but garage sales and antique stores are great places to find cheap tackleboxes full of used gear. With those poles and one full tacklebox, the OP could take the entire family fishing, giving them more than one pole each to manage. A few hours of reading and watching youtube before the first trip should be enough to get them started. (Disclaimer: It will definitely be enough to get them fishing, but it won't necessarily get them "catching".)
