I agree with you, my yard in South Africa looks terrible. However in the middle of winter I bought a "bargain" fig tree for R99. Spring has now sprung and virtually overnight there are a whole lot of beautiful green leaves on this cheapie tree. All it took me was a bit of water. I have also planted two red pepper plants. I have never really spent time in the garden as I used to play a lot of sport. Now I can't play sport so the garden is a nice thing to potter around in with my pets

Fig trees grow fast when watered well (!)
I grew up with one in the back yard; it was a huge tree after 10 years.. and the figs were amazing.
I will DEFINITELY do that, Green Leaves are such a beautiful sight, especially in Spring
