Vegetable gardening is an amateur-status sage ability in the study of Grasses & Grains, encompasses an intensive cultivation approach that demands fertile soil and significant manual effort, essential for combating weed growth and disease while yielding a valuable harvest of vegetables or tubers.

The minimum size for an effective vegetable patch is 16½ ft. on a side (1 sq. rod), with an area of 272 sq.ft. This requires 29 hours of labour spread equally over a 90-day season, with attention paid no less often than a span of 6 days. Popular varieties of crops



For unskilled persons in the game world's time period, the best yield that can be obtained equals 1.3 lbs. per hour spent, per square foot of ground planted.


A vegetable patch will require 115 hours of labour per 90-day season (typically a little more than two hours every other day) for a yield of approximately 115 lbs — therefore, about 1 hour a pound. Work must be done every three days, however. Reduce the total yield by 10% whenever the garden's tending is made to wait more than six days.

Take note that the growth above exceeds what a peasant would produce on the same field, about 2/3rds of a pound per hour of labour.
