Best type of outdoor plant for Ohio/P.a. area

I live in Ohio near the Pennsylvania state line. i have a few questions i'd like your input on.

1. What is the best type of outdoor sativa plant? (i'm looking for a all around good plant thats easy to maintain and highest yields.)
2. What site has the seeds for the cheapest and ships to the USA?

3. What can I do to keep animals from eating my plants (deer, rabbits, etc.)

4. What is the weather supposed to be like when i plant them outside.

5. Is it better to plant them in the ground or keep them in big pots? does it effect the overall size?
(I was planing on digging like a 3 or 4 foot hole and mixing in good soil if i put them in the ground)

howdy in new england we have strains with some sativa that work well outside we have our own gens. when they busted emery buying seeds is risky we put a small fence to keep out rabbits (fences dont keep out deer ) human hair ,piss work real well no problems with deer you don't want to forget the slug dope they will eat like you wont believe we put our's out in may in 2gal. grow bags when they sex out put the females in 10gal.grow bags or 20 gal.barrels for the big strains (12-16 footers) we dig holes for water only. use only promix#2 along with organics only no mirical grow ever hope this helps answer some of your questions

Nice pics bro .
