Gardening - what do you plant?
In this game, I started looking into gardening after I had been playing already for quite some time. Which may be a bit surprising, given I had been playing quite a few sims in the science career, whe...

I plant everything, sometimes, and sometimes I only plant what my sims need for cooking. It depends on my plans for the sims in question. But I like gardening in real life, so more often than not, my sims do have gardens. I bought SN mainly for the plants and the recipes. I also have the
Bohemian Garden set, with even more new plants.
I plant them in rows, with no spaces between the plants in the rows, and two or three spaces between the rows. I arrange them by type and size of plant. So I have rows of mushrooms, small fruit plants, small vegetable plants, tall fruits, tall vegetables, short herb plants, tall herb plants, alchemy herbs, and coffee beans, with trees in a separate plot, spaced farther apart. Special seeds get planted with whatever category they fit in. So life fruit goes with tall fruits, flame fruit goes with small fruits, and eggs, cheese, meats, and omni plants go with tall vegetables or in rows of their own. If I'm not planting everything, any short rows will get combined with some other categories, like short fruits in the front, and tall ones in the back, for example.
I don't have any pictures of my current sim's garden itself, and it's early spring in her game right now, so she doesn't have a new garden planted yet, but here are two of her jogging past her garden.

Here is her garden in France: It's mainly for making nectar, so it's mostly fruit, especially the French grapes, but she also has a few vegetables, eggs, cheese, and meats, to use for cooking while she's there. It's arranged differently than I usually do. I usually have long rows running front to back, but because of it being in France, and thus her time being limited, I planted the slower growing plants under the Swift Grow station, and the faster growing plants with just a sprinkler.
