We moved into the new house last September, so I was able to take a look back then at the sun angles and the available garden space. The two large trees in the back yard provide plenty of nice shade, but too much for a garden. Luckily, the side of the garage faces directly South and it entirely tree free.

The seller must have recently landscaped the entire ground with red dyed wood chips to improve the curb appeal of the house before putting it on the market. I still need to dig all of this up, but here's what I'm starting with.

I'm thinking of putting two trellises leaned up against the garage and training the melon vines to grow up. That would leave more room for the tomatoes and peppers.
