Potato Seeds are the seed pieces used to grow a potato crop. They are sown in a garden plot on ploughed land.
Potatoes are a filling staple for any farmer planning a long stay. The crop is fairly quick to grow, at about eighteen in-game days. Each plant gives three to four potatoes. The seeds weigh almost nothing, so a whole stock fits in a pocket.
Potatoes are an early spring crop. They do best when sown in March and do badly from late summer through January.
The seeds come from opening a Seed Packet - Potato. The Farmer is the best occupation for gardening. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Using
The seeds are planted in a garden plot. The plant then grows for about 432 hours before it is ready. That is eighteen days of game time.
Sowing season runs through February, March and April. March is the best month to plant. The crop does badly from August through January, so autumn and winter sowing is a poor choice.
Like all crops, potatoes need water and care while they grow. Plants can catch diseases, so a farmer should check the bed often.
At harvest each plant gives three to four potatoes. A row of plants gives a steady supply of food that keeps a base fed.
Seeds can be stored in packets. The Put 5 Seeds in Packet recipe fills an Empty Seed Packet - Potato with five seeds. Opening a Seed Packet - Potato gives five seeds back.
