Personally, I would work on one area at a time. Biting off
more than one
can chew is certainly the fastest way to a disaster.

Consult your local county extension specialist as to your plant
selection
and preparation. It will pay to first prepare the planting
areas. Even
if it takes a season to get the beds prepared, it will be worth
the delay.
Have soil tests done. A good lab will analyze the soil and
give
recommenations based on your needs.

True, but your local Extension Office can get it done as well,
and for less. And with the same good recommendations.
