Hello Hedi, first I would go to the local nursery and ask what windbreak trees do well where you live and start planting.What sort of chill factor do you have there ? because that will influence what you can plant too. You could possibly grow some dwarf varieties of fruit trees on the sheltered side of your house.I'm sure others will have some good suggestions.
