Does anyone know what I could successfully plant there, I want something that will be easy to get started and will survive the extremely cold wind and snow we get in the winter months. I don’t know much about blueberries or raspberries- can you make a suggestion. thanks.

Herbs are preferable, but anything else comparable will do.

I have an area in my backyard where i want to grow something edible, preferably fruit. The issue is the area only gets a good amount of sun in the middle part of the day, but when there is sun it is good intense sun. What would be the best thing for me to grow there?
If it helps i live in the Bay Area in California.

You would have to grow them in containers for starters. It would not be easy at all. Palm Springs is just too hot and dry to grow them in a landscape setting. Fruit trees such as these need a period of cold weather (temps in the 30′s or below) for a time before they will produce flowers and fruit.
I’d look for fruit trees that can tolerate the conditions, like figs or date palms, or even a citrus tree. Good Luck!

The area is in my backyard with a great big pine tree soaring over where the soil is blocking out quite a lot of sun ( although a few rays manage to get through during the day). Previously in this spot I had grown an apple tree but that is completely dead now so I am hoping for some advice in to what would be a suitable fruit tree for this sort of area in a garden. Thanks for your help!
