Anna:

Before you plant anything, I'd get the soil tested. That way you can find out if you need to adjust the pH. It's useless to apply fertilizer unless the pH is correct, then you can fertilize for what you are trying to grow. It took me 3 years to get the pH here to 6.5-7.5.

For planting a garden, get one of these:
Planter
Get the seed plate kit and it will save you many hours of planting by hand.
