You want to group your plants according to their water/ fertilizer needs, so for example, I would put all the tomatoes (were there 3 ?) in one 15gal. if it is deep enough. They will have to be kept at the north side of your area so they won't shade the other shorter plants. When they're big and have fruit in August you're going to be watering them twice a day, at least!

You could put all your peppers in one of the 45gal. tubs as they'll all be about the same height, and water/fert need.

The cool-season stuff like carrots and cabbage-y stuff can be grouped in one tub, but be sure the carrots get enough light. When I grew them in Salt Lake City, the season was sometimes very short for cool-season veggies. (it got warm too quickly, and they were tough and not tasty) You may be harvesting those at the beginning of the summer, and then have room for more warm weather stuff like your beans.

Beans need to be planted in successive plantings eg. every few weeks plant a few more until about July. This way you won't have a huge harvest all at once.

Just my opinion, but I feel you're going to want to plant your raspberries and blackberries at your girlfriend's house along with the asparagus because they get big and tall and they want to spread. In fact, you can "intercrop" those, and just let the asparagus ferns grow up amongst the berry bushes.

You really should have rented a house, Lisa but I sure admire your ambitions!
