Hi Everyone! I have been searching for a forum to help me on this journey and I think this is it! So a little back story. I get my green thumb from my mom! for as long as I can remember, we had too many houseplants and not enough yard lol I regret not spending more time in the yard working with her instead of just being out there with her 
my mom passed away nov 2011, and i know now that i had so much more to learn from her!! she was well on her way to becoming a Master Gardener through PennState (I think! I will check the details later!) and she had a horticulture degree and was in the middle of a botany something or other... She also was interested in Hydroponics! Well, While I did get her green thumb, my talents sparkle when it comes to house plants, tropical's, water plants, succulent's and cacti! (i make terrariums, fairy gardens and potted water displays and sell them to fund my cat rescue !!) anyway, I am now living in my mom's house and I have a basement full of gardening stuff, plus a big back yard that has barely been touched since she passed! i just couldn't do it last year but now I want to bring it back and make it a mix of me and her but i have absolutely NO clue where to begin! there are i think 6 beds sectioned off on the right, a separate bed she had pumpkins, corn, gourds n such in, and then a bunch of rose bushes, honeysuckle and a few other perennials around the fence border. oh and i had a tree cut down and its in the middle of my yard now (i'll be getting to that here shortly!) So I am heading out now to take some pictures, and I have so many questions!! I will try to get them all to the right threads but please bare with me as this is my 1st time using a forum also! TIA! cant wait to get growing!
