Update

The amount of work it's going to take to have 1-4 people fix my yard is incredible.
I need:
  • A tiller
  • Lots of mulch
  • Top soil
  • Pots
  • Hoe
  • Replace/move my clothes line
  • Move the debris from the shed
  • Move the fire pit

 

 
The possible plants I want, on top of the ones I already want, are as follows:
  • Trees:
  1. Avocado
  2. Lemon
  3. Lime
  4. Apple
  5. Peach
  6. Pear

 
  • Non-trees:
  • Cucumber
  • Spinach
  • Kale
  • Cantelope
  • Honeydew
  • Blackberries
  • Raspberries
  • Cranberry

 
What I already know I want/care to continue to maintain:
  • Habanero
  • Tabasco
  • Cayenne
  • Mole
  • Bell
  • Stuffing pepper (anaheim?)
  • Banana

 
  • Strawberry
  • Watermelon
  • Zucchini
  • Okra
  • Sage
  • Oregano
  • Marjoram
  • Tomatoes
  • Chives

 

 
And I need to arrange things so I know what to do with all the small trees growing; we have existing trees that I'm not sure fit into my rearrangement, but there's a lot of factors. Will I own the property in the back -- will I have access to plant on it if I don't? Are they too big to transplant? If not, should I take them down before they get too big to remove without paying someone? Will I ever get rid of the hedges, hollies, mimosas and azaleas I don't want?

 
This is going to take loads of effort.
Gah.

List of Seeds I want

http://www.parkseed.com/gardening/PD/5681/   Pumpkin Seeds. Needs to be soon!
http://www.parkseed.com/gardening/PD/5633/ Mole sauce peppers
http://www.parkseed.com/gardening/PD/47952/ Blueberry Bush



And I definitely still want jalapenos, habaneros, bell peppers, cayenne peppers and tabasco. I've really liked them in salsas and stuff, and I need to plan on jarring some of the oils for cooking when the season's over. Also, I have anaheims, I think; those should be good for stuffing here soon. :D

I've also liked having okra and zucchini squash. I need to actually EAT my okra and the problem with it is I don't really feel like making stew because of the heat..I'll see how it takes to being double bagged and frozen for when things cool down a bit.

Planning

This thing is just going to be my universal planting planner thingie, so here goes:

Plants for the pots, so far:
  • Strawberries
  • Mints
  • Tomatoes
  • Sage
  • Basil
  • Marjoram
  • Oregano

Ground:
  • Peppers
  • Squashes

Got to start getting mulch for the yard here soon, to promote decent dirt.
