If the creek is that close, I'd cut a ditch to drain the garden.
A garden tractor won't compact the soil enough for the seed area to be "raised". If you are using a cultivator the right way, you can ridge the dirt when the crop gets larger. While it is small, the only way you can do that is to plant on a ridge, but that will be tough with a GT. You would really need to step up to a compact tractor. The GT's just aren't tall enough for what the farming world calls "ridge till".
A tiller is far more useful than a Brinly disk. While I own and use one, it really doesn't work very well. The angle of the disk blades isn't steep enough, and it's hard to get it to do much tillage. The 3pt version that was built is far better than the sleeve hitch version. I'd suggest finding a mounted tiller for the rear before getting a disk. By the time you disk the plowed ground enough times that you make a good seed bed, you will have it packed so tight it will not raise a good crop.
