Quest 1: Gardening

I know. This is broad. I am planning a few months on this though.
I will be planting a vegetable garden. The basics- easy stuff... I hope. Here is the plan:
- Determine location: next to the pond, to the east of the house. How did I decide on that location? I don't want the neighbors to have to drive by it and the ground is moist.
- Till land: need to borrow a tiller... Put up fence. What do I put in? Not sure. Going to Menards this week to look.
- What to plant? potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, spinach/lettuce.
 When I figure out the "What" I'll figure out how big to make it.

I planned on doing this last year, but with a 2 yr. old and new born, I determined it to be to much. I'm ready now though.
Here is something I've been reading, but would like somethign with some local expertise? I'd love to here about it...
