Scheme a fellow set out in the garden (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

planted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'set out in the garden' is the definition.
'planted' can be an answer for 'set' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'out in the garden' bit.

'scheme a fellow' is the wordplay.
'scheme' becomes 'plan' (I've seen this before).
'a fellow' becomes 'ted' (I've seen this in other clues).
'plan'+'ted'='PLANTED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for planted that I've seen before include "Put in the ground" , "Set in the soil for growth" .)
