I'm giving up with vegetables this year too, they're too much work for me now. I'm going to grow cut flowers in my raised bed where I used to grow vegies, but I may put a few onion sets in between them

That looks very nice and better than the first AI suggestion. I was just thinking about adding you to this thread, but then I saw you spotted it already.Looks like garden designers are no longer needed with all that AI thingy Another thought: I would take off the lawn, use it for making...
