Don't quote me on this, but I believe that radishes grow like crazy underground and will need to be contained somehow (tubes in the soil to prevent it from spreading laterally). Asparagus can have deep roots.
This you can quote me on: If you decide to grow mint, best to keep it in a pot or it'll take over everything else in the garden.
Another thing to consider is how plants get along. Some plants put nitrogen in the soil, some deplete it. So planting them in a pair benefits each other. You can probably also look into starting a compost pile in the meantime if you plan on using compost in the soil.

I wish I had my own yard.
