Try planting a herb garden, Oregano, Basil, Thyme, Parsley, Chives, Rosemary. And for more choices of medicinal plants and what they treat check out the article in the first link below. The second link is for a very good organic fertilizer - that I personally use. I can answer a couple of the questions.

I have a link to the USA Amazon below. It does not matter what environment you live in as long as you respect it. I live in England and gardeners here seem to be at war with nature, always trying to trick it into producing more. I find that fruit tree and bushes grow them selves over here. I recently started a wild fruit tree map in google, it has trees and bushes local to me on it, it is open to be edited by any one, so please if you have some fruit tree in Florida do add them. There is a link to this below as well. Read ‘The One Straw Revolution’ by Masanobu Fukuoka. He is a Japanese farmer. I have a link to the USA Amazon below.

In addition, the amount taken up by new plants growing in the future from that compost would be very small. There will be so little pesticides left after it is broken down that it shouldn't matter.

Green peppers are not ripe peppers so the seeds will be immature. to get pepper seeds you need to use a ripe (red, yellow or orange) pepper tomatoes you can use the seeds but you need to ferment the seed first than dry them which takes about 2 to 3 weeks to do properly so you don't get seed born diseases. Dried beans will work. Potatoes will work but get only organic as the non organic kind have a sprout inhibitor and tend to have more diseases (seed potatoes are certified disease free) Strawberries and raspberries do not come from seed but from plant divisions and runners leafy greens are harvested before they go to seed. Melon seed would be viable but these are almost always hybrid AND they are not grown in isolation so the seed would not only be hybrid but would have crossed with any other melon varieties grown within 2 miles so what ever grew would be nothing like the melon you got the seeds from. This would be true of zucchini, cucumbers and all winter squash as well. So in theory you could grow a garden this way but few if any of the crops would come back true because most everything is hybridized and since none of these crops were grown for saving seed you would have a lot of crosses on top of the hybrid crossing. If you want to experiment go for it, if you want a garden from which you can eat the food (by this I do not mean any food you harvest will be inedible, it won't. I am saying you probably won't get a lot to harvest) buy seed. It depends on the produce.
