Hi Lisa, and welcome to ATP. As Daisy said, you have a lot of plants ordered, and I sure hope you have enough space and enough sun for all of them.
As Daisy also said, we need to know where you are to give you much advice - at least city, state and country if you are not in the US. This gives us an indication of how hot your summer temps will get, your relative humidity, and how strong your sun is. eg. Pac. Northwest growing is completely different than high desert, plains or the Southeast.
Glad to hear you planted the asparagus at your friend's house. It's not a crop for containers, but as long as your girlfriend stays where she's at for some years to come, you'll get your reward, and so will she, of course. Lotsa water in the spring, and feed it. Plus don't pick any the first year.
If you'd asked us before you bought all your containers and all that topsoil, manure, garden soil and peat moss, my personal preference for growing veggies in containers is to use Earth Boxes. They are a wonderful, self-contained unit that is extremely water-efficient and once you set them up, all you need to do is keep them watered, and enjoy! They even come with casters so you can move them easily. But you must use only potting mix in them, none of your other soils or amendments.
Btw, do you have a hose bib or other handy water source near your deck? Your're gonna need it! Will your deck leak onto the deck of the apartment underneath you? That's always a headache - I started out gardening on a 3rd floor balcony in Vancouver BC. My neighbors underneath got lots of gifts of veggies for putting up with all the dripping from my garden.
