My first garden help?

So I am planting my first garden and i have no idea what im doing haha. Anyone that can give me some pointers on grouping certain items, growing next to wire, i was told something about soaking some seeds the night before if so which ones? thanks I have a large garden area of about 15feet by 15 feet. i got the soil rototiller yesterday and the garden about two years ago had been used for 20 years so i think its quite rich, but i also added two bags of organic fertilizer to help out. Im planting peas carrots nates corless green onions beets broccoli squash butternut cucumber lebanese style turnip corn winter squash yellow onion red potatoes romain lettuce

1. Peas and cukes want to climb (there are male and female cukes, got to have both for vegie). Corn needs 4 rows for pollenation. Squash will spread - needs room. Potatoes want to be "mounded up" as they grow (as foliage grows, cover half with more soil.) Carrots need deeply tilled soil. Lettuce, broccoli are cool weather crops, won't do well in the heat of summer. all appreciate regular fertilizing and full sun. good luck
