Well I have done both plant indoors and re-potting and scattering seeds, I found both worked but the seed outside grow slower but now are a much stronger plant.

Default Fred's garden

Fred (50) has the whole garden to roam in, with different areas to explore. I have made him several shade shelters and also use ridge tiles in different places too give him different temperatures. He certainly likes to explore everywhere and has a variety surfaces to dig in, soil, gravel and bark. We encourage the weeds to grow naturally.
