Hi there,
Each time I buy a indoor plant or look something up that's related to
any kind of gardening I get entirely lost in all the terminology, Latin
names, etc.


I would like to get improved at gardening and growing things devoid of
having to get my degree in horticulture. Are there any sources
(websites/books) for beginners who don't understand all the "big words˛?

There are tons of gardening books- literally. You don't even say which
continent you're on, and that's a problem with Usenet. If you want a
general all-around book for North America, I love _Crockett's Victory
Garden_. But it concentrates mostly on vegetables, and it's almost all
outdoor stuff (you start the seeds inside and move them out in a few
weeks). And it does not use complex terminology.

The .uk in @gardenbanter.co.uk identifies the most likely region as the
United Kingdom (Britain).


Ah, Gurgle Groups does not show full email addresses, so I missed
that.

Thanks,

Chris
