Zone 9b, House is southfacing. I have yard measurements on the edges of the yard. I have 7 cypress trees planted along the back fence. I also have 8 fruit trees planted south of the cypress trees, and a Pineapple Guava and a Washington Navel Orange on the eastside of the yard. I want to incorporate raised vegetable beds, a larger patio area (Room for a grill and pizza oven), 10'x12' storage shed, and paths to reach it. I'm just having a very hard time trying to pull it all together, and pick plants that will deal well with so much sun and our hot, dry summers. Any help is appreciated.
