Make it four areas, and in the fourth plant asparagus. Trust me on this
one. In a few years you will be very happy you took the time and trouble.
Assuming, of course, you like asparagus. It's astonishing to me how much
better fresh asparagus from the garden tastes compared to what you can buy.

Cheers,

Given that you don't mention potatoes, I would divide this area into three
areas and rotate crops as follows. Area 1 - root crops ie beets,
carrots,parsnips etc. Area 2 - legumes ie beans peas and any aubergines
onions cucumbers tomatoes etc. -this area can have as much well rotted
manure as you like. Dig a trench, fill it with manure, put the soil back
on
top and you have a hot bed these crops will love you for. Area 3 -
Brassicas - cabbages sprouts turnips radishes, broccoli etc. Enjoy.
