That sounds very familiar to me.
Our garden has a front yard that is mostly decorative, with cypresses, pine trees and two vines.
Then there is the back yard with a small orchard and between the trees I plant some vegetables, I love cherry tomatoes, gherkins, onions, hot peppers. Unfortunately our well gives less and less water each year due to the climate changes and I can't plant too many seasonal stuff. That's why I planted more trees this year with focus on edible ones.
I've done that windows renovation in the past, it's real pain and is so slow :) Not to mention, expensive too. After a huge roof repair this year for the next one the plans are to whitewash the walls outside as summers get even sunnier :)
You too, thank you!
