Hi ! I don't think you're a Noob any more.
>> It doesn't always work out the way I want but at least I try. Cant wait to show off what has worked out for me,
In fact, that sounds like a VERY experienced gardener! Yeah, you said "new HERE".
I'm also in Hardiness Zone 8, but the coastal PNW has a VERY different climate and sun angle and daylength and pests and soil and ... almost everything.
What parts of the site turned out to be most interesting to you? I like the occasional seed swaps and vegetable gardening.
