Landscape ideas

Among the many things I am not, one of them is a landscape architect. Regardless, I couldn't help but to do a preliminary plot of how the house might sit on the Masters Lane lot (should we end up with it). There is a really pretty live oak towards the left side of the lot that we can do something behind.
One of things I'm thinking of planting is a couple of rows of peanuts. I grew about 5 peanut plants a few years ago. LeAnne and I love boiled peanuts and they were out of the ground, salted, boiled and in our bellies within 3 hours. They were delicious but it was too much work on our .08 acres to grow 5 peanut plants out of buckets.
This is what I call "low yield farming". That is a very happy man who grew about 12 peanuts for about 6 months of work. LeAnne's dad, farms in town on a much larger scale. He's my hero:
