    Hello all!
    My fiance and I are about to close on a house and with it comes a beautiful backyard. Problem is, it hasn't been kept up for awhile and it's got tons of plants that we know nothing about! I'm excited to learn all about gardening and hopefully develop a new hobby.

    A little about me...
    I am a student in southern va and my fiance and I will be getting married in August. Can't wait! Till, then, it's stress stress stress and wedding planning.

    Good to meet you all!

    Hi thenoob... and welcome from SE Texas. Congrats on your new home and upcoming wedding. The best stress reliever in my book... go plant shopping and play in the dirt! :D
    And for the record... you won't find a better group of plant ID'ers than the folks right here!
