OK... it's garden time.

Today after work I will attempt to plant my first garden. I need help! A buddy from CougarBoard gave me some soil and fertilizer for the space, but I'm still not quite sure what to put into my space. Here is a diagram of the space:



Note that the gradient indicates how much daily sunlight each area will get. The bottom portion is north-facing and will only receive maybe 3 hours of direct sunlight each day. The top part will receive maybe 5 hours a day of direct sunlight. I'm looking to plant some herbs, tomatoes, berries, some peppers, and some flowers. How would you lay them out, and in what quantities?

I'm going to buy wood right after work to frame the area and make a box out of it. About 8 inches tall. I'm thinking of using 1x4s to create the wall.
