"All that is very well.' answered Candide, but let us cultivate our garden."

-Voltaire, Candide

What a more humble joy to the well-off pilgrim than a well-kept garden to soothe the mind and relax the muscles. Gardening allows you to plant wild plants acquired through foraging in Gardening pots. The pots need to be prepared with humus and water before anything can be planted in them.

About

Gardening allows the use of Gardening Pots to grow some forageables. However, the Pot itself only requires Pottery to craft. Planting things in your Gardening Pots also lowers your Insanity.

To start Gardening:

• Prepare a Gardening Pot with 1 Humus and 1L of water. Purity of the pot, the humus, and a small random factor, will affect plant purity.
• Once prepared, certain plants can be planted in the Gardening Pot. (see Potable for a plant list)
• After three days (or less with the right skills) the plant can be harvested.
• There is a rare chance that a single Beaming-Proud Sunflower will grow instead of the plant.

More Gardening Infos:

• Harvesting most plants will provide 2 of the plant type that was planted by default.
• Herbs & Sprouts proficiency give you a chance to get more than 2 plants from one pot. (see "Plant Yield")
• Horticulture and Green Thumb will reduce the time for plants to ripen.
• Currently, Wild Garlic, New World Gourd, and the Beaming-Proud Sunflower itself are exceptions to the normal growth.
  • Wild Garlic will either grow normally, or convert into domesticated Garlic.
  • New World Gourd will never grow additional New World Gourds, instead it will convert into a Baby Bear, Green Bell Peppers or Red Bell Peppers.
  • Beaming-Proud Sunflower will convert into Sunny Sunflowers.

Plant Yield

The number of plants yielded at harvest is a default of 2.
With a Garden Shovel it will be increase to 3.

There is a chance to get more the higher your Herbs & Sprouts is:

• >=100 H&S = +1 Chance
• >=150 H&S = +2 Chance
• >=200 H&S = +3 Chance
• >=250 H&S = +4 Chance
• ...every 50 H&S +1.

You get only a Chance! It means that you also get Gardening Pot yields with +0, +1, +2, +3, even if you have a H&S of 250 with a Chance to get +4.
