We finally got the garden planted last week. It took 3 of us approximately 8 hrs to get the rows ready andd all the plants put in. Under the plastic we have a soaker hose thats on a timer - 3 times a week it comes on for 15 minutes. I got the plastic at a yard sale it was in a free pile. The big plot is 40ft by 30ft the small is 3 feet by 30 feet. There was a dip in the lawn where the small plot is, when we dug up the big plot we put all the extra stuff in the dip to level it out. We ran out of planting space so now we are using that strip to plant what I call the "viney things."
Here is what we have planted:
62 pepper plants (6 varieties)
35 tomato plants (4 varieties)
8 cabbage
4 red cabbage
12 leaf lettuce plants
6 ft of spinach seeds
4 eggplants
4 white eggplants
3 feet pea seeds
6 feet green bean seeds
4 celery plants
4 Kohlrabi - we have no idea what this was, the greenhouse owner gave it to us.
3 dozen assorted viney things... butternut squash, spaghetti squash, zucchini, gourds, watermelon, pumpkin. DH planted these without markers so I have no idea what's what.
We also have about 20 tomatoe plants we grew from seed that are about 6 inches tall. They will go in th egarden once something else is done.

Answer:
Thanks!!!! It was a lot of hard work. Hopefully I can find someone who knows how to can to do it with me - I have done it a couple times but it was with my ex's mom who is now deceased. I am too inexperienced to do it on my own. I may end up setting a veggie stand up in the front lawn maybe I can recoup the cost of the plantings.
