Thanks for sharing such great info! When typing, I did not realize that we can not can crops from OR plants, and I was actually thinking of ways to add poisons into those preserves :) I too wish more base crops could be preserved, I make elderberry jam IRL, and was looking very much forward to doing that in game, too. And like you say, there are several crops that would make very common preserves.

I really should dive more into the herbalism skill. I love the OR but playing on rotation, the few herbalists in my game hardly ever find anything to harvest when they go to the forest, because plants take more than a day to produce, or I go there in the wrong season. I like that we have all these possibilities, and I really think it's time I specialize more of my households. Perhaps one household can grow herbs to make herbal stuff to sell to local farmers. I can always arrange for paying outside the game. Maybe even one house can grow herbs, and another cooks them. That might make the quantum bigger.

Still busy preparing the new lots, but will soon be ready for general playing ;)

It will be easier to get the OR plants for use in the remedies now without having to go to Granite Falls for a camping weekend during the Summer. (By the way, there is no point in going in the Fall or Winter, because nothing grows then, and only a few of the plants are also available in Spring; Summer is the best for foraging and camping trips as well). Anyway, you can buy all the OR plants (in rotation) at the Gardening Stall in HoB, which will save your having to search for hours and find them in the woods at 5 am in morning. The insects will still be an issue for certain potions, but I admit to cheating and getting them from Debug sometimes (it's just so darn hard to find some of the rarer types). I haven't checked but maybe someone has put a room of them all up on the gallery too.
