Looks a bit of a headache to me! try googling "crop rotation"  and look for threee or four year rotations and you should find some simpler layouts.

why Google when the information is on site?  ;)

click on growing help tab above, enter your query/search in the search box, crop rotation in this case......and this is what you get:-

But if you are talking about the rest of this year  then things like dwarf french beans, turnips and salad, anything that grows quickly before your autumn digging :)
