Have a fig tree myself. Any trees (fruit or nut) and perennials (such as rosemary) are a good bet to start with.
They may take some time, but great return for investment. Rosemary and blueberry bushes are in ample supply on my property though one rosemary bush is more than enough. I am also lucky enough to have mature pecan trees and wild-growing blackberries. Note: as with the mint warnings, blackberries will run wild also and aren't as pleasant to deal with, although they make a great natural fence along my property lines. Also good points made about vine veggies. They need lots of room to roam, but they do produce!

When do you retire? My Father was in the Corps for 25 years retired in 1963 as a MGySgt (I think he was one of the very first to earn that rank). He and our family spent the next 10 years in Laos (that secrete war). I went back to the States and joined the Marines in ‘69. Got out, earned a degree in Geology at Miss. State Univ. and am now retired and enjoying my time left.

And yet another poster making me GREEN with envy!!!!

I have had absolutely NO luck with any kind of berries at all, although I’ve never tried blackberries. If what you say about them is true, I may just have to try them...........as I can not afford to put in fencing along the certain portions of my property where I need to have fencing!!!
