If I am not working, or learning something new for work. I don't touch technology. I enjoy working in the yard, remolding my house, etc.
I just want a nice yard set up so that I can work on technology in a variety of environments.
Well, then just get one of these:

And you can work in any environment.

@Tim_G is that the one that people are hacking now with the MAC exposure?

We would, actually, like to set something out there up with a projector so that we can do outdoor movies at night.

Yup, I hadn't even thought of doing the Mango Meetups out there. That's a great idea. Although it will be quite some time before we have enough done to make that viable. It needs a LOT of work.

We could get a keg and invite everyone over for a crazy day of backyard renovations, lol.

If you bring beer, they will come.

If there was a fare sale and I had the time, I'd fly down for one, especially if I had a place to sleep. Hotels can be expensive, even when you have a corporate discount.

Yep, I'm not much for design but I can do some heavy lifting. I even have some relatives in the area I could probably crash with.

I like this.

Yeah that is a really neat and good use of space that otherwise would be wasted.

Building that would be super simple too.

I'm thinking herb garden.

@NerdyDad me too. We love fresh herbs. Sage, lavender, rosemary. Rosemary grows great here. I'd love having some big rosemary bushes like we had in Italy.

I think rosemary also repels mosquitoes so yes, definitely worth it. Definitely recommend on getting a programmable watering controller. Something like https://www.orbitonline.com/products/sprinkler-systems/timers/timers/outdoor-wifi-timer/b-hyve-6-station-smart-wifi-sprinkler-timer-v2-2543

Basil and catnip, too.

Catnip is a controlled substance. Make sure you encase it with 16 gauge or sturdier caging. If you don't, all the cats in your neighborhood will be your best friend.

If you have flat areas, sure... But that design leads to quite a bit of landscaping needed on a weekly/monthly basis.
