Hello everyone,<br><br>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&#39;ve had in my adult life). <br><br>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.  <br>

<br>Is your focus on vegetable gardening? Herbs? Water gardening? Roses? Shade gardening? Something else? How long have you been doing it?<br><br>I&#39;ll start. I have absolutely no expertise as I&#39;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&#39;s going to be a huge learning curve for me. <br>

<br>Still, I&#39;ve managed to keep a few vegetable plants (lettuce, kale, spinach, snow peas) growing in some raised beds in the backyard this year.<br><br>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&#39;m hoping to learn pretty much anything at this point. I&#39;d definitely be interested in a neighborhood garden tour (as mentioned in a previous thread.)<br>

<br>Thanks,<br>Michelle <br>Glascock St<br>
