And you can incorporate changes as well.

And is green manure even practical for such a large area, or does it not matter?

It improves your soil and doesn’t cost much. Actually, there’s no reason not to use green manure.

You said it was too late for vegetables. Look up Marie from Wurzelwerk. She posted a video on Saturday about vegetables that should be sown or started indoors in July.
There is also a book called Winter Vegetables by Heidi Lorey.
There are still quite a few vegetables that can be planted in the garden until October.

Progress is only happening little by little, since we’re doing almost everything ourselves.

I like that. We have plans for the next 15 years on our property and enjoy both the current state and every step along the way – irrigation system, solar panels on the carport, sculpture trail, more trees, outdoor sauna, fire pit, purchasing an adjacent meadow (if it works out), taming and developing other areas like the 60-degree slope toward the road or two steep cliffs – always keeping the habitat for wildlife in mind... Some things get abandoned, like the hillside lift, which we realized we don’t actually need because we redesigned the driveway differently than initially planned.
A pleasant motto for slowing down the process: the faster, the less gets done.

Everything you’ve planned sounds great 🙂 just yesterday I told my husband how cool I think it is to do everything ourselves and gain knowledge along the way. Right now we’re focusing on the basic things, like installing curbstones and splash protection strips, but when a layperson manages to do this well, it really makes you proud. It’s a completely different feeling than having everything done by others.
