Let's talk gardening!
Gardening is one of my favourite aspects of the Sims, and I know there are other players obsessed with their Sim plants, so I thought I'd start a thread for sharing tips, tricks, questions and annoyan...

I really haven't been "back" into gardening after Seasons. I've had some scientists keep basement gardens but since the potions don't rely on plant quality I hadn't focused on it.
I've got to say with my new hippy gardener sim I'm having so much fun with it again. I'll probably slowly make my gardener famous through something he crafts or writes.. at least that was my intention going in. But I'm just having a lot of fun puttering him around though.
I found a great (to me) Greenhouse/home. It's basically a greenhouse with sparse living space. I had to max out the wall height (tip for builders) because trees only grow in rooms with the tallest walls.
Anyway, per Carl's site I've been using fresh fish that are worth more than $50 and was surprised at the jump from normal to nice with just one "treatment". I do have the beehive in the center of the room that's suppose makes the fertilizer benefit stack.
I'm about to start grafting and I'm a little nervous because I always grafted onto 24 hour or less plants. So wish me luck. If anyone knows of growth rate times different than before let me know.
I'm planning on grafting onto:
basil, sage, parsley, spinach
carrots, potatoes, green beans, green peas,
strawberry, tomato, and daisy
Also maybe the herbalism plants, but not sure I won't stick them in storage so.. not sure. Some of these use to be 18 hour growth but maybe it's all 24 hours now?
