Hi! I'm new to the gardening forum. I am also a new gardener. My mother and grandmother always had beautiful flowers, trees, and bushes. I have always had an interest, but I never seem to get anything going, so I'm here to get some motivation and advice on gardening. My husband and I would like to start a vegetable garden. We have killed off some grass in one area and made a raised area. Right now it is waiting for us to put some dirt in it and plant some seeds. I also want to work on making my yard prettier. Right now it is kind of plain.
