Wheat Seeds are the grains of the wheat plant. They are sown in a garden plot to grow wheat. They are also ground into Flour.
Wheat is an autumn crop. It is ready in about eighteen in-game days, and each plant gives a harvest of two to four. The seeds weigh almost nothing, so a large stock is easy to carry.
A farmer keeps a supply going by threshing dried wheat sheaves. The seeds are also found in barns, farm storage and sheds, and they come from opening a Seed Packet - Wheat. 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.
Sowing season runs through August, September and October. September is the best month to plant. The crop does badly in June and July, so summer sowing is a poor choice.
The harvest turns back into seeds through the Thresh Grain recipe. It takes one dried Wheat Sheaf and gives Wheat Seeds. Part of each harvest can be sown again, and the rest goes to flour.
Twelve Wheat Seeds make one Flour. The Mill Flour recipe uses a Stone Mill. The Grind Flour recipe uses a Stone Quern. Rye Seeds and Barley Seeds work in the same recipes.
Seeds can be stored in packets. The Put 5 Seeds in Packet recipe fills an Empty Seed Packet - Wheat with five seeds. Opening a Seed Packet - Wheat gives five seeds back.

Locations
Barns are the best place to look. Their crates, shelves and other storage hold seeds about one time in four. Farm storage is just as good. Closets, sheds and farming bags hold them now and then. Studios, warehouses, garden stores and garage storage turn them up less often.
