I think growing vegetables is a good idea.  I would like to plant just a couple more trees but need to select carefully as I do have a couple planted way before I was here which are too large.

I’m thinking about some more Crepe Myrtle trees on the sunny side of the house as they lose all foliage in winter buy provide shade in summer. They seem to grow well here. There is also a type of fruit – I’m trying to think of its name that grows well here.  Yyou have to cook it for it to be edible. Looks a little like a cross between an apple and pear. Beautiful with vanilla ice cream.
