Watermelon Seeds are the seeds of the watermelon plant. They are sown in a garden plot to grow watermelons.
Watermelon is a slow spring crop. It is ready in about eighteen in-game days, and each plant gives two to four melons. The seeds weigh almost nothing, so a large stock is easy to carry.
A farmer can keep a supply going by taking seeds from a ripe watermelon. The seeds also come from opening a Seed Packet - Watermelon. The Farmer is the best occupation for gardening. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Using
The seeds are sown in a garden plot. The plant grows for about 432 hours before harvest. That is eighteen days of game time, so the crop needs patience. Each plant gives two to four watermelons.
Sowing season runs through March, April and May. April is the best month to plant. The crop does badly from October through February, so autumn and winter sowing is a poor choice. An early spring start leaves time for the long growing period.
The Collect Seeds recipe takes seeds out of a Watermelon. Tweezers, a dull knife or a sharp knife is kept as the tool. The same recipe also takes seeds from peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, pumpkins and other fruiting crops. Saving one melon from each harvest keeps the seed supply going.
Seeds can be stored in packets. The Put 5 Seeds in Packet recipe fills an Empty Seed Packet - Watermelon with five seeds. Opening a Seed Packet - Watermelon gives five seeds back.
