Are gardening questions on-topic?

+7
−0

Are questions about gardening on-topic on this site? It's "outdoors", but not the kinds of outdoor activity that most questions seem to be about. I know that over on SE there's another site for gardening, but I wasn't active on either that site or The Great Outdoors over there. Now, however, I'm here and I anticipate having some questions about container gardening, which I am new to. Would those questions be welcome here?

I think so, there isn't another site that would take them instead for one thing and they wouldn't be all that different from existing questions.

Usually, indoor versions of outdoor activities like fly tying or indoor climbing are just as on topic as the outdoor ones.

Also, the original outdoors site suffered from times where people would freak out a bunch of questions on the same subject and try to narrow scope all of sudden and I would prefer not to make the same mistake here.

I do plan to keep my containers outside, if that helps. :-) (Well, after frost concerns are done, I mean.)

The existence or not of another site should not be a criterion for being on topic on this site.
