Sugar Beet Seeds are the seeds that grow a Sugar Beet crop. They are a gardening item for survivors who want a hardy root crop. Each seed is planted in tilled soil and grows into one plant.
Sugar Beets suit a long growing season. They can be sown from late winter into midsummer. Their main strength is a large harvest per plant. Their main cost is that the crop does poorly from autumn through midwinter.
The seeds come from opening a Seed Packet - Sugar Beet, which gives five seeds. They can also be saved back into an empty packet. The Farmer is the best occupation for gardening. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Using
Sugar Beet Seeds are planted one per tile of tilled soil. The plant needs about 292 hours to grow, a little over twelve days. Each grown plant gives four to nine Sugar Beets at harvest. That beats Spinach at two to four and Tomatoes at four to five.
Sowing works from February through July. March and June are the best months to plant. September through January are bad months, when the crop struggles. Two plantings, one in March and one in June, make good use of the season.
The Put 5 Seeds in Packet recipe gathers five Sugar Beet Seeds into an Empty Seed Packet - Sugar Beet. That turns them back into a Seed Packet - Sugar Beet for tidy storage. Open Seed Packet does the reverse and hands back five seeds and the empty packet.
