[Gardening] Introductions?

Hello everyone, I am very excited about this list as I am completely new to gardening (moved here in the last year and this is the first yard I've had in my adult life). I imagine people here have different interests, expertise and skill levels and it might be fun to see the range of interests and expertise listed. Is your focus on vegetable gardening? Herbs? Water gardening? Roses? Shade gardening? Something else? How long have you been doing it? I'll start. I have absolutely no expertise as I've only been attempting to garden for less than a year and am still working on identifying what is already in the yard and figuring out how to care for it. ;) I have even had horrible luck with houseplants in the past so know there's going to be a huge learning curve for me. Still, I've managed to keep a few vegetable plants (lettuce, kale, spinach, snow peas) growing in some raised beds in the backyard this year. My primary interests are in organic, edible gardens and native plants. But, since a lot of plants already in my yard are non-native (and I am still very much a beginner) I'm hoping to learn pretty much anything at this point. I'd definitely be interested in a neighborhood garden tour (as mentioned in a previous thread.) Thanks, Michelle Glascock St
