Garlic Seeds are the planting stock for the Garlic crop. Each one sown in a tilled plot grows into a garlic plant. Garlic is a slow, late summer crop that gives several bulbs per plant.

Garlic suits a farmer planning for the long haul. The plant takes about forty-eight days to mature, so it ties up a plot for a long time. In return each plant yields two to four bulbs.

The seeds come out of a Seed Packet - Garlic. Opening a packet gives five seeds and leaves an empty packet behind. The Farmer is the best occupation for gardening. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.

Using

Garlic is sown from July to September. August is the best month to plant it. June is a bad month, and a crop started then does poorly.

A seed goes into a tilled plot of soil. From there the plant needs water and care like any other crop. It grows slowly through the late summer and autumn. Once ripe, each plant gives two to four bulbs of garlic.

Because the crop is slow, planting it in August gives it the best start. A plot of garlic can sit alongside faster crops that are picked and replanted several times. Garlic works best as a steady background crop for a long stay at one base.

Spare seeds can go back into a packet. Put 5 Seeds in Packet takes five Garlic Seeds and an Empty Seed Packet - Garlic and gives a full Seed Packet - Garlic. A full packet keeps the seeds together and easy to find in storage.
