Just joined and immediately left the garden :( help!

I joined the garden for the first time at the end of April... and I'm already out.  Currently my only MC is my Orchard started card with a $500 CL and a who knows what AF.  So I apped and got approved for a Barclaycards Rewards MC (the one with 2x points for gas , groceries, utilities)!  2000CL!  This will probably be my daily driver now - I didn't have a gas/groceries rewards card.  

 

I did the clicks of shame to update my sig.  Ok, I'm stepping back into the garden.  Can someone politely fence it in to keep the critters out and keep me in?

Warning this garden is protected no exit premitted

 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
