How is everyone getting on with the gardening? Has anyone spliced anything yet or created a cow plant? I understand you have to splice a dragonfruit and a snapdragon. Ive found snapdragon but not dragon fruit. What level do you have to be be able to splice?
Also, is there a gardener to hire? I looked under services and nothing there only maid.

I really need to track down the dragonfruit to make a cowplant!

Grafting is also handier for getting the plants that are only available out in the world because you can take a clipping from them home to graft to your existing plants, instead of having to wait until they are harvestable. (you do still have to wait until they are grown enough to be able to get a clipping from though).
Carl's Sims site has a nice write-up on gardening in the game for those interested in all kinds of nuts and bolts details. http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/skills/gardening/

So much stuff to find out about....lots of googling today!

I'm going to explore this option today, I'll report back later this evening.
Funny thing about this is in the first house we rented years ago, we actually had grass coming up from the floor in the bedroom (in one of the corners). Apparently we had a crack in the foundation.
I have found that realistically if you want to concentrate on gardening then your sim wont have time to work. My sim grows her plants and makes a bit of money from painting to give her some income. I don't think she is going to get rich anytime soon but I think she will be very happy!
@litabelaqua, my sim started in the culinarian career at the same time as gardening. I was able to manage a garden with 9 plants and still do all of the career required stuff too, but he had time for much other stuff ONLY on his days off (which is 3 days out of 7 per week). I originally tried a larger garden and after about a week of trying to keep up with it I trimmed it back a little. With Grafting it's much easier now, as I indicated above.

I think planters will become more valuable and useful when we get a "Night Life/Downtown" style expansion. When living in an upper-floor apartment with no yard, it might be handy to have your own tomato plant to keep making fresh, free Autumn Salads.
That's not actually true. Place all the seeds down first, and then click on one of them and click "Plant". The Sim will proceed to auto-plant all the others (just like water and weed).
Didn't TS2 have the option to hire a gardener - that was a plus - would be nice to have that option
