Welcome, Doug.
There are a lot of helpful folk here and I think you will get some good advice. If you have an interest in a certain kind of plant like Daylilies or Iris, there are individual forums for them. If you have a particular question you want to ask, but aren't sure where to post it, go to the left side of the screen and click on 'GOODIES', then click on 'Ask ATP'.
