Magazine: Blooms and Blossoms is a gardening magazine about flowers. Reading it teaches the growing seasons of six flowering plants: Chamomile, Marigold, Sunflower, Rose, Poppy and Lavender.
A growing season recipe is farm knowledge rather than a craft. It tells the grower how a crop behaves before the seed goes into the ground. This one belongs to the Agriculture skill and helps anyone who keeps a flower bed or a herb plot.
The magazine is found in loot, most often in gun stores, hunting lodges, book stores and farm houses. Reading it also eases boredom and stress.
Uses
The six recipes are Chamomile Growing Season, Marigold Growing Season, Sunflower Growing Season, Rose Growing Season, Poppy Growing Season and Lavender Growing Season.
Once a season is known, the sowing menu shows a tooltip for that plant. It lists the water the plant needs and how many days it takes to grow. With the growing seasons option turned on, it also names the months to sow, the best months and the risky months. Watering a known crop also stops at the level that plant likes, so the soil is not flooded.
The same knowledge comes for free at Agriculture level 6. At Agriculture level 10, every growing season in the game is learned at once. The Farmer occupation and the Gardener trait start with all six known. The magazine is most useful to a survivor with none of these.
Like every magazine, it also counts as paper for armour. Make Magazine Body Armor takes eight magazines and four Duct Tape at Tailoring level 1. Make Magazine Limb Armor takes one magazine and two Duct Tape.

Locations
The magazine is fairly common. Magazine shelves in gun stores and hunting lodges are the likeliest spot. Book store shelves follow closely. Farm houses hold it in dressers, wardrobes and counters, and zombies dressed as farmers sometimes carry it. Garden stores, florists and greenhouse cupboards are good places too. Ordinary bedrooms, closets, attics, halls and living rooms turn one up now and then.

Notes
- Agriculture level 6 gives the same tooltip and watering help without the magazine.
- Farmer and Gardener characters already know all six seasons.
- The month details appear only when the growing seasons option is on.
- A read copy still serves as Magazine Body Armor material.
