Carrot Seeds are the seeds that grow a crop of Carrots on plowed land. They give a hardy root vegetable with a generous harvest.
They suit a survivor building a garden with the Farming skill. The crop gives more food per plant than the quick leafy greens. Its cost is time, since carrots grow for well over two weeks. The plants also need water and care against disease.
The seeds come from opening a Seed Packet - Carrot. Each packet gives five seeds. The Farmer is the best occupation for gardening. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Using
A seed goes into a plowed plot of soil. The plant grows for about eighteen days of game time. Each plant gives three to six Carrots at harvest.
Sowing works from February through July. February and June are the best months to plant. January and the months from October to December are bad for the crop.
Carrots take longer than Broccoli Seeds, Cabbage Seeds or Cauliflower Seeds, which are ready in about twelve days. Those crops give two to four per plant, so carrots trade speed for a bigger yield.
Harvested Carrots make strong bait for Rabbits and Raccoons in traps. They also go into preserved food jars for the winter.
Five seeds go back into an empty Seed Packet - Carrot with the Put 5 Seeds in Packet recipe.
