Sweet Potato Seeds are the seeds that grow a Sweet Potato crop. They are a gardening item for survivors who want a filling summer root crop. Each seed is planted in tilled soil and grows into one plant.
Sweet Potatoes suit the warm months. They are sown only from May to July. Their main strength is a steady harvest of three or four roots per plant. Their main cost is a slow grow time and a short sowing window.
The seeds come from opening a Seed Packet - Sweet Potato, 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
Sweet Potato Seeds are planted one per tile of tilled soil. The plant needs about 432 hours to grow, roughly eighteen days. Each grown plant gives three to four Sweet Potatoes at harvest.
Sowing works from May through July. June is the best month to plant. October through February are bad months, when the crop struggles. A June planting gives a harvest in high summer.
The Put 5 Seeds in Packet recipe gathers five Sweet Potato Seeds into an Empty Seed Packet - Sweet Potato. That turns them back into a Seed Packet - Sweet Potato for tidy storage. Open Seed Packet does the reverse and hands back five seeds and the empty packet.
