First time home owner, 2nd year growing veggies here, but last season the house was being renovated so I couldn't check garden daily. Successfully grew tomatoes and peppers but everything else was a fail due to lack of attention and an extremely rainy summers here in nj.

This year I, building a more practical garden, in the best sun in my backyard. Will have the time and am just looking for tips as to what's a good plan for it and obviously to trade some seeds.

I have various tomato and peppers, also some pumpkin and watermelon seeds.

I really want to growths following this year:
Peppers
Tomatoes
Cues
Watermelon
Pumpkin
Carrots
Strawberries
Squash
Spinach or lettuce

And anything else I can get going!

I have roughly 25x25 to work with which will be taking up about 1/6 of our yard. I'm looking forward to the help!
