Then in early spring, till it again. 15 x 20 is fairly small for a garden, so you will have to limit yourself to your favorite veggies. Since you're new at this, I recommend tomatoes, peppers and potatoes. They are easy to grow. Since this is a small area, I suggest using landscape fabric to keep the weeds down. Don't worry about soil fertility. Since it's a new garden...it's fertile. You'll only have to worry about that after you've planted it for 5 years or more. But, if you really want to add something, use peat, compost or cow manure. They will enhance your soil if it's clay.<br><b>References : </b><br> Till it up now. Then in early spring, till it again.

Research each plant you select for preferred pH ranges and adjust your soil pH with lime or sulphur (up or down, respectively). A good soil test would be an excellent idea. A local garden center visit with some of your soil might be a good idea for tips on what to add. Your question is good with lots of info supplied, but I can't help much. Sorry!
