Small greenohouses for planter boxes

Using a small greenhouse cover for the planter boxes of the game, Sims can harvest crops out of season.

Something like this:

  • Those are not for harvesting, just to start the seed germination process.

    Well, this one says the contrary:

    That looks like aromatic herbs, you can use them for cooking regardless of how small they are. Most plants grow taller and bushier and won't fit in there by the time they are supposed to produce harvestable fruit.

    I can see a tomato plant there


    A tomato plant grows about 1m tall. And that plant doesn't have any tomatoes on it, guess you could harvest it as green plant to feed to chickens and rabbits. Anyway, I don't think it is even a tomato plant, too bushy for that height. I am guessing its lovage.

    You can actually already make several different mini greenhouses like this with roofs. As long as the eaves extend over the planter/plants it counts as being sheltered, so they grow in all seasons.
