First-timers looking for suggestions

Hello there! My neighbor and I are first-time gardeners, with a tiny bit of experience (I helped my parents with their backyard garden growing up). We currently have radishes, onions, and some greens in the ground and have been delighted that we haven't killed them yet! We are hoping to plant a full garden this upcoming year (North Georgia). We have a bit of space - enough for 3-4 beds about 4'x6' or so, plus more if we clear out all the ivy. Here's what I was thinking:

Bed 1: lettuces, blueberries, basil

Bed 2: beets, peppers, potatoes

Bed 3: tomatoes, summer squash

Bed 4: okra

This way we'd have rotating crops throughout the different months.

What do you think? Overly ambitious? Other suggestions? What do all the experienced gardeners think is a good variety/calendar of things to grow for newbies?

Thanks y'all! Much appreciated!

-Laura
