Does temperature affect plants?
Nauthiz:
In my current household, in the middle of the winter, four strawberry plant are growing. Despite outside temperature below -50, despite snow covering them, they are thriving. So why bother with building a greenhouse? :-\ I've never seen hail in my game yet.
Does temperature and winter affect plants at all?
Morague:
Well, maybe if they have gold badges it doesn't, but my Bronze badged Uni students just lost 8 out of the 12 plants they had over the winter. So, yes, weather does affect them.
KatEnigma:
If you build a greenhouse, you won't have bugs and if they ever fix THEIR damn bug, won't have to worry about overwatering because of too much rain. Plus, it makes a good place for plant sims to hang out in the winter.

Temperature has no effect on plants, but being snowed will rapidly reduced their health if they are outdoors. 4 strawberry plants is well within the ability of a decent household staff to maintain in thriving condition (Although why strawberries? They're probably the most useless plant in the game in terms of what can be made with them).
Try doing this with a giant field of them!

If you can't "Talk To", you can still force-raise plant health by overwatering manually. Some research is currently being conducted comparing the relative merits of chain-watering vs. talk to, as I have the suspicious feeling that Talking To is actually slower than drowning-for-health.

That bug is fixed in Awesomeland already. Did you not get it

Strawberry lemonade (2 strawberries, 2 lemons) will give a Sim platinum aspiration. This is quite useful. Reducing furious may or may not be useful with strawberry juice. Personally, I like Sims kicking over my trashcan, as I can compost the contents.
I recently had a dorm where my Sim planted a row of stuff along the side of the dorm, and I laid a row of floor tiles on the second floor above in hopes of protecting them from rain. I don't think it ever rained while I had this, but at least the plants weren't buried under deep snow. They did show frost when the rest of the ground was under snow. Their health went down fast though, faster than I was used to, so this may have hurt more than it helped. Other plants totally in the open have lost health slower.
