Hi Mark,
Welcome to the forum, and as a relative newbie I can say that you'll not find a better way to get into stalking than by 'grazing' around the astonishing amount of information experience and advice you'll find here.
How do you plan to move your interest forwards?
If you're gonna stalk in your garden I'd LOVE to see your brassicas!!!
Seriously though take a peek around and enjoy!
Regards
Fraser
