I am your first subscriber via Feedly.
Reading the About your garden, I wonder if you have tried spekboom, Portulacaria afra, as a nurse plant and windbreak. Perhaps start the mother plant in a good sheltered place, then harvest the cuttings and spread them along. It is an obliging pioneer which creates its own microclimate and improves the soil with its leaf litter. And, you can eat the leaves in salad!

Thanks so much, Diana :)
We've only tried Portulacaria afra in containers -- been worried about its winter hardiness, but so far it's had not problems. Would love to grow it in the ground so perhaps will start some cuttings. And the leaves in salads? Must try!
