Hi Mandi and welcome to the forum, I'm quite new to gardening too and not very good at IDing plants but everyone else is so you'll soon be sorted You'll learn loads on here, far more than from books in my opinion, I've learnt loads this year
It's a scary garden at the moment as I have very little knowledge on gardening and plants ... We have tried growing potatoes and had a load of blasted snails eat most of the leaves ... We have a greenhouse too but the apple tree and whatever is growing at the back doesn't let in much light at the moment ... I am committed to the cause though as have just today bought a garden planner (diary type book)
Why not post a pic of anything you intend to prune, weed etc and the guys on here will guide you through it, if you get two versions of doing something dont worry, they will both work, just pick whichever suits you best!
I was thinking of using one side of the garden to make a raised bed and have a kind of small veg patch like the idea of growing our own vegetables but not sure how hard a raised bed is to build?

Ooh yes - pics from the same vantage points every few weeks will show everything through the year!
