I‘m a lazy gardener in a comparative climate, I think.
For the lawn: I use a motor scythe 2-5 times a year to keep my lawn from becoming a forest. That way you get a meadow with more diversity and living space for insects and small animals while it stays walkable.
Vegetables/fruit: If you combine pumpkin, corn and beans, those will not compete for nutrients, cover the ground and require less water because evaporation is lessened.
Strawberries are also nice, because they’re tasty, spread quickly and also cover the ground.
Having an apple tree is also a good idea, but dice I’ve inherited my trees from the former owners, I can’t provide you with knowledge how to care for a young tree. Bet there’s good content in the internet on pruning and such. You might want to select a kind that’s good for storage, because eventually you’ll get more than you can use at once.
