but how can I know whether the plants I have are annual or not? remember, they are indoor plants..........I'd be grateful if you could help me.

When you buy the plants, they should tell you whether they're annual plants or not. It's their job, I suppose.
Here's the definition of what they are and what type you could plant in general,

You're welcome. And I don't know how plants are sold in your country, but in the U.S they're labeled to let customers know about how tall the plants would grow, how to plant them, what they are, etc. Thus, we don't need to ask for the info. If we want more, we'll get online to check. It's because the employees sometime are not professionals; therefore, their knowledge about the plants is just as much as the customers's. Maybe, how plants are sold in other countries is different. If anyone would like to share it, please do so. I would love to know the differences.

LennyeTran,
Some plants have some information, but some others don't. Unless you ask questions about the ones that don't contain any information, you don't know how to deal with them. Next time I buy other plants, I'll ask a dozen of questions

I love gardening so much. I think it is my best hobby now. Since we have our house, I’ve done a lot to my backyard (there was nothing before) I build a brick patio which is big enough to hold two outdoor tables, a BBQ grill, a water fountain and plus many people. Surround the patio; I plant some burning bush, a weeping cherry flower, perennials, annuals and pots flowers. There is a big lawn surround the patio. I try to keep it nice and green as I can. Along the neighbor line, I planted some shrubs and evergreen trees. They are so slow to grow. I may put up the cedar fence around the backyard so I can enjoy the privacy. I also build some focal points; a seating area on a way back of the yard and a little Japanese garden where the big rock located. Next project I may build a pathway or a fishpond.

Wow, it sounds so nice, Vince. How long did it take you to do all that? Are you gonna plant some trees also? Something like cherry, lemon, lime, peach, etc. Or a little garden of herbs. My grandma has one little of her own. She plants green onions, basil leaves, gingers and peppers. She told me if you wanted your peppers to be really hot, fertilize them with chicken's dung. It sounds so disgusting .

A Japanese pond is my dream of a garden for my future house. I love turtles and I want them swimming in my pond with goldfish.

All my works have been done over my weekends. So it quite take sometime to finish. I will plant some fruit trees like apple and Asian pear. I love to grow a lemon tree. Unfortunate it won’t survive in the winter time here. Yes I love Asian herbs. I may start the garden next year. By the way, your grandma is absolutely right. Chicken's dung fertilizer is the best for hot chili pepper tree.
