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.
