i dont know where to start. i know that i want to plant the following:
lettuce
tomatoes
peppers
watermelon
corn
peas
zucchini
potatoes
red potatoes
beans
some herbs maybe
and in the fall:
pumpkin
butternut squash
the only problem is i dont know where to put the garden, i dont have any seeds, i dont have any money, and i'm 15 and want to do all this on my own (so i can sell most of it / my mom and dad dont think i can do it / i REALLY want to do this!!!).
me and my family live on a farm and we all do the gardening together so i know exactly what to do i just need help starting.
any advise!?!?!?!?!?!?!

judging by what you want to plant you are going to need a lot of space. Our garden is on the southwest side of our house so that it gets a lot of sun. As to not having the seeds or the money. Most seeds are relatively inexpensive. You can do so chores or get a little part time job(mowing lawns, raking leaves, shoveling snow, delivering newspapers, etc.) to earn the money. Make sure that it's okay with you parents also before you go digging up a garden. Best of luck.
