Try a mix of veggies and flowers. Do stuff that you like to eat and is not so picky about growing. And if you’ve got the space try out some kind of melon. Get a bunch of seed catalogs and get excited, check out some garden books from your local library.
Also, don’t try to do too much. Start small and really do it well. Next year you can always expand
Some good seed companies – you can look at their catalogs online-
Southern Exposure Seed Exchange
Johnny’s Select
The Seed Savers Exchange
High Mowing Seeds
Fedco (get the fedco paper catalog it is totally fabulous!)

I live in connecticut so not to far off.. Love to garden. For the pests you can plant marigolds around the outside for natural bug control any plants with excess pests you can use seven dust it is sold most anywhere . You can plant most root veggies early like carrots, onions, turnip, also some beans and peas.when you plant carrots you can add a little sand to the soil if the soil is too hard the carrots will come out short and fat.tomatos however are my specialty you can plant basil in between the plants aloso helps with the bugs . Don’t know if this is true but old time farmers tell me that if you plant your carrots next to the tomatos then it will help sweeten the tomatos .. Good luck and happy gardening
