Gardeners, do you build greenhouses?
Typically, I build greenhouses for all of my plants since the season doesn't hamper their growth that way. So I was wondering if I am a genius or do other gardeners grow their plants that way?

You can graft any plant onto any other plant, except for a handful of fungi (specifically the base game and cottage living mushrooms). The final result is a plant which grows both types of fruits. Or 3 types of fruits, if you graft 2 different plants onto one other one.
Mind you, you get reduced total output because the resulting single plant, though it will produce multiple types of outputs, won't produce more total output...just more variety. Some days you might not even get both types of fruit as a result.
But yes, if you graft an apple tree, which only grows in fall, onto a sage plant, which grow year round, the resulting bush will grow year round, producing both apples and sage. I do this to eliminate all of the plants which only grow in a single season by grafting them onto other plants which grow in all seasons or, at the very least, 2 seasons. What you do is take the cutting from the plant you intend to completely eliminate and graft it onto the plant you wish to keep.
Also, be aware, that some grafting combinations produce new fruits rather than just a combination of the two plants and some plants grow faster than others, so that's something to additionally keep in mind if you want the desired final plant to be faster growing.
This is a solid guide that covers which combinations produce something entirely new: https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/help/grafting.php
My main reason for grafting is just so I don't have as many plants to tend, but as long as I'm going to do it for that reason, I also try to do it in a way that gives me plants which produce for more of the year even when they are outside.
