What are the advantages or disadvantages? Why is indoor/outdoor gardening better?

I want to make a garden but I don't know what would be better so I want to know the pros and cons. By the way i live in california where the weather isn't too stable right now.

both can be satisfying, and I would recommend trying both for awhile til you can decide which you want to continue. There are many plants that can be grown indoors including orchids. Those are my favorites but they need special care. I don't know what you mean by the weather being unstable. Is it rainy? damp? cold? All of these can affect plants if persisting for a while. If you grow indoors it's usually recommended to have some plant lights to help them grow. Ask at Home Depot or other place where they sell this type of thing

I live in NE USA (Maine), I usurally wait until spring and snow gone and frost out of ground, sometimes the season doesn't seem long enough, so I want to start inside, with seed and have healthy seedlings to put in ground.

it is a great time to start most of your veggies indoors. Pumpkins are a little different though. They only take about 3 months to mature, and since most people want to have ripe pumpkins in the fall rather than the summer, most wait until May or so to plant their pumpkin seeds. however, if you want to start them inside, go ahead and just set them out when the last threat of frost is gone.

i am in the niagara region of ontario canada.....what would be good for my outdoor gardens that will come up every year........flowers and plants tht aren't too much money...........thank you very much for your help!! i am new to gardening so anything that yo would share with me would be a great help!! thank you!!

Everyone's getting thumbs down, so I'm hesitant to answer this! An annual will only live through the season, where perennials will continue to grow year after year. I am currently on my second year of some flowers in my yard. The little label on the flowers will let you know whether or not it's an annual or perennial. As for suggesting the type of flower for you, I can't answer that due to being in different areas. You're in Ontario and I'm in Florida. An employee at a garden store will be able to help you with this.

Here's what I've got and done so far...

A lobelia Hybrid "Luguna compact with blue eye" and a "sunbeam kordana rose" both planted in 8 in terra cotta pots(with drain), on the ground in semi-shade.

A Calibrachoa hybrid "superbells tickled pink" planted in a hanging tin 6 in planter(with drain) hung in direct sun

A mini-spider plant and tiny-fern both in 3 in ceramic pots (no drain) in shade

I planted all 5 plants in Miracle Grow potting soil.

So here's my questions...
1. would the spider or fern do better indoors? and do they need draining or larger pots?

2. How often should i water each of them? Do any of them need plant food?

3. It's already fall so will they still be alive this winter? (I'm in SoCal)

4. If they die for the winter (1st 3 say annuals) When will they come back, do i have to do anything to them to make them come back?

5. Please! anything else I should know, I'm really new to this and don't understand alot of garden-lingo yet,

Thanks!
And did I get good plants for a beginner?

(sorry for all the questions, but I went to Home Depot, it's like pulling teeth trying to get customer service in that place LOL)
oh and do I have to worry about pests?

The lobelia and the Calibrachoa are both annuals, so they will only live for the season. If you want plants to come back for you next season, you should buy perennial plants - these usually are bigger and not as showy (colourful) as the annuals.
As for the spider plant and the fern, those are indoor plants. You should move them back into the house.

You should water your outdoor plants daily to promote root growth in a new environment. It is quite late in the season for planting outdoors I must say, but and again you are in south california, so I can't really comment on that.

Your indoor plants should be watered approximately once a week. Do not put your indoor plants under direct sun. The fern can do with more shade, and soil needs to be kept moist at all times. I hope this helps!

Next year, you should really get your plants from a nursery. The staff there will be able to help you choose the right plants. Home depot is not the right place unless you know what kind of plants to buy(ie, a seasoned pro).

When I buy seeds and try to put them outside of my house theres a red square and it wont let me place it there. So basicly im looking for an answer that tells me how to make an outdoor/garden.

you must go to your room and go to map and then click were you want to put the outdoor room,and it cost 1,000 kinz cash.
