Later you will be able to buy Farmer versions of these seed packets. The first seed packets you can buy are Starter fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. Then you will need to water them, keep a close eye on your plants as they do need lots of attention.

You can also plant directly into the ground. Planter Boxes can only be used outdoors and hold up to four plants or one tree. Gardening Pots can be used both indoors and out butВ only hold one plant. Plants can be grown in the planter boxes or Gardening Pots.

Starter Vegetables: Carrot, Mushroom, and Spinach.

To get started on your Sims gardening skill you have two choices either go around the area and gather different plants by harvesting the already mature fruits, Vegetables or flowers. This is of course used to grow a cowplant, every Sims household can use a Cowplant, for the pesky visitor who just wonвЂ™t leave? Then you take a Dragon Fruit splice and graft that to a Strawberry plant you will get the elusive Cowplant berry. For example the Strawberry and Snapdragon plants splice together make the Dragon Fruit plant. This skill is used to produce many plants that you can later splice together to create other more exotic plants. One great skill for your Sims to master is the gardening skill.
