Here is what the exterior looks like. The front yard is full of stickers and pretty unkempt, but there is a brick half-circle bed that could be a great raised bed (on the left). A
Carissa Macrocarpa, otherwise known as Natal Plum, is the bush in the front middle. On the left you can see a Ponytail Palm; it is not really a true palm, but it is a very cool plant.
There's also a bed under the windows on the other side of the brick fence you see behind the bush and palm.
You can see the space behind the front wall a little better here in these next two pictures.
In the back, there's another good location for a bed in the pool area. I'll probably just start out with some potted plants sitting in this area.
