How do I plant a garden, this is my first so?

I don't even know how to start, tools, I need or even what to do. So can someone please help me out.

I going to use a part of my backyard thats a decent size about 10x10 it gets light in the morning and shade in the p.m like 3 or so. What should I plant also?

Youre gonna' love growing your own food and saving money and if you have kids it's ideal for teaching the value of the first American settlers and what they had to endure. We always plant what we like to eat like watermelon. cantaloupe, broccoli, lettuce (several kinds) and my favorite artichokes, tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers lots of stuff and I made a raised bed garden for easier care.
PS the morning sun is always the best sun and you probably have plenty of sun time for your garden. Gardening is easy once you get the hang of it.

Knowing some of the answers to these questions will help you decide
what to plant .

Edited: Consider planting marigolds and (nasturtiums by the cucumbers) That's what my grandma taught me and to also plant flowers through out the garden to attract bees for pollinating. Put a collar around your tomatoes to keep cut worms off.Scroll down to see photo:Use cutworm collars as needed~~~~~~Lots of info in the link.
