    building a room creates a room, which is always classed as indoors, even with a fence around it.

    however, all is not lost. if you go into build mode and delete the fence and the flooring, you can rebuild it using the fence tool. the screen attached shows where to click, and the top icon on the right builds fences like the wall tool builds walls. the outside area will still be classed as outside, and you'll be able to plant inside the fences 🙂

Oh then the bug is the opposite of what I thought.  Because occasionally it would give me the option to plant it in the room on the ground.  It was very rare though, it happened a couple times but I forgot to take a screenshot and I couldn't get it to happen again.  It was late so there is a chance I was just seeing things but I'm fairly certain it did give me the option.

Edit: Wait....I just encountered the problem.  So I created the fenced enclosure instead and it had the grey flooring.  It would let me plant on the grey floor, but as soon as I added the "out to pasture grass" flooring, I could no longer plant in the ground.  So how am I supposed to get a fenced in garden with grass as the ground instead of concrete?

Edit: Okay last edit I promise.  I got it now.  So if you created a fenced in enclosure connected to your house it automatically adds a floor.  For some reason you can plant on the default floor? But if you use the sledgehammer on the floor to remove it then you will have the regular grass and be able to plant.  I really hope I'm not the only one who struggled this much with this lol.

you're not the only one 😉 I struggled with it too when I first started playing around with fences. confused me so much I almost gave up on having a fenced garden (didn't like that idea at all). it's one of those 'once you know, it's easy' things, but before then, nope. it took me a while to discover that the fence tool works different, and the flooring works in a weird way. 

glad you're all good though and you got everything working 🙂
