#### Herbs in Lethensome Lift gardens?

I'm almost afraid to mention this in case it's a bug and this brings it to the devs' attention. But, um, i just planted some herb seeds in my garden in Lethensome Lift. I actually gasped aloud and startled my spouse! Who promptly went over to HIS house next door to see if he could plant some. And he could.
We have crop gardens in Groddle Heights.
Please, please, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease let this be a new feature and not a bug.

- I hope this stays. :O I'd been storing any herb seeds I picked up in my cabinet so I went and planted them. I'm in Alakol.

- Not a good sign if bogs can't grow crops.

- If this is a bug, I reckon the game is trying to tell us something *nodnods*

- I was not able to plant herbs in Umebo Bodes :-(

- I can plant herbs in Bortola!

- if you can't grow herbs in your crop garden try refreshing your browser, that worked for me.

- Oh dear, now I feel like crap for making the wrong decisions! I wish there were some Alakol homes available. Nonetheless the bog house is great for easy favor points.

- Bortola, Borrem Summons Tree Hous owner here. Successfully planted herbs in my garden too, seems to be a new feature. Can't find anything in the change-logs though....

- Doesn't really seem fair to those with herb gardens in their houses if this isn't a bug.
  Posted 14 months ago by Warrender | Permalink
- It would be fair in the 50k and 30k homes but not the others so likely its a bug

- What?! I never tried this at all but now I'm going to have to! Sweet!
  Posted 14 months ago by Laerwen | Permalink
- Please don't be a bug! I like this! Was thinking of having to sell up and move (in the future) to get herb badges, but not having to do that would be awesome! :)
  Posted 14 months ago by Ebil | Permalink
- @Mister RE:In my case it wouldn't. I gave up a 50k house in order to get one with a herb garden.
  Posted 14 months ago by Warrender | Permalink
- @Warrender Some of us worked our butts off and bought one of each on 2 accounts just to have access to both while I will curse a bit if this is not a bug it would make sense considering its the most expensive house in the game. Even offered to buy my friend one to get more slots. Sorry if I dont feel your pain.

- It is a bug, Araldia posted in Global Chat a little earlier that it should be fixed soon....

- Ahh! None of the herbs we planted in the crop slots have counted as herbs ._.
  Got not so grim reaper badge for planting 151 crops while planting herbs.
  At least now we know it's a bug. I was hoping that it was a nice new feature ._.

- Frankly the 30k and 50k houses could use a perk,I was really hoping this was it! ~esp since I hate (yes hate) using community gardens.
  As it stands the only thing making these 30/50k houses any good is their size,there are only 4 patches for trees (you can get 5 in the meadow style houses) and I still don't like the wishy-washy colors trying to mimic 'haze'. ;(

- Yea, I just accidently planted herbs in my back yard, Besara. I've planted but havent harvested so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. I agree with you @ScillyGirl5 I hate community gardening.

- Well darn if this is a bug :( I thought being able to plant produce and herbs in ALL houses was a big step forward!
  I tried living in the swamps during beta but just couldn't live with not having crops. I think this would revitalize a lot of neighborhoods!
  Posted 14 months ago by Cabinwood | Permalink
- I've been hoping and praying for this feature!
  Posted 14 months ago by IxÆoN | Permalink
- From five seeds languishing in my cupboard (and some vigorous shucking), I now have a whole bag full of herbs. Yay guano!
  Posted 14 months ago by dr_loplop | Permalink
- It would be nice if we could buy/make/install in our house a single herb plot (and a crop plot for those who live in shimla). Even with some penalties, such as, it would take longer to grow, and we can't have more than one or two...
  In real life, people can grow up flowers on their windows... why not there?

- waiting for my herbs to be harvest-able... *crosses fingers*
  i'm hoping that it's not a bug, too, but if it is, maybe the devs could make it such that learning herbology I or II gave you the skill to plant herbs in your own garden. of course, it would be so much more awesome if you could just do it by default. :)
  also, with the somewhat meager (imho) payoffs from herbs compared to crops, i don't think houses with herb only gardens are very appealing.
  Posted 14 months ago by Alexis Hex | Permalink
- I read this post and RAAAAANNNNN to my house to plant all of the seeds I've been keeping from the Ancestral Lands.
  Sekhmet - I'm hoping that that's a feature that will be implemented when we can develop our homes more. In case this is a bug!
  Although, I feel bad for people who moved to the Swamps specifically to be able to harvest herbs. Granted, I know a someone who wouldn't want to live anywhere else, regardless of the garden.

- Sadly it's a bug :(
  I was doing some stuff to support something new with gardens (you'll understand why when it comes out) and in doing that, I made it a bit too loose!
  Posted 14 months ago by Endoplasmic | Permalink
- I really like the idea @Alexis Hex had where levels of Herbology let you grow herbs in garden plots. That would be awesome.
  Posted 14 months ago by Devers | Permalink
- I would be extremely pissed if the price of herbs tanked because everybody with a crop garden could grow their own.
  Posted 14 months ago by Jewel Stoned | Permalink
- my garden looks so much cooler with all the different plants and flowers i will miss it when its gone
  Posted 14 months ago by satarell | Permalink
- Best bug ever. Let it stay please!
  Posted 14 months ago by Bashere | Permalink
- +1 Devers and Alexis_Hex.
  Posted 14 months ago by Vortexae | Permalink
- Thanks for letting us know, Endoplasmic. Really looking forward to this 'something new' you speak of.
  Posted 14 months ago by Daffy Lurksalot | Permalink
- ...and does the 'something new' include the herb gardens?
  ...I'd have to surmise the answer as no since the bug didn't make it so crops could be planted in herb gardens...so...guess it'll be something else the bog homeowners are shortchanged out of.
  Posted 14 months ago by Firestone1960 | Permalink
- I hope the devs note how happy all the glitchen were for a little while at the thought we could plant herbs.
  Posted 14 months ago by Tibbi | Permalink
- I am super, super sad -- tho' not surprised, really -- to hear this is a bug. +1 to all the suggestions for allowing crop gardens to have an herb pot. And +1 to also allow the herb gardens to have a pot or 2 to grow crops -- i loved my Shimla Mirch house, but there's only so much you can do with herbs and an egg tree.
  Posted 14 months ago by Wrdnrd | Permalink
- I'm glad you are making changes in the gardens, but this is one change I think people would love to see. It would be great if we could plant anyting in our crop plots, herbs or veggies. Maybe it will become oe of the customizable options in the future (hint, hint).
  Posted 14 months ago by Gizmospooky | Permalink
- I love this bug, but I'd like to suggest a change to houses: Make us 250k+ houses that have features of both garden houses and bog homes. =)
  Posted 14 months ago by Tonya | Permalink
- Thanks a lot for the report, the bug is now sorted out, but with that said this thread has sparked some internal conversations which is always fun!
  The only things I'll say about "something new" is that a) it's awesome b) both garden types will be able to take advantage of it ;)
  Posted 14 months ago by Endoplasmic | Permalink
- I saw it mentioned on another thread and didn't fully read this one to see if it was cross-referenced but flower pots would be great. Then you can buy for whichever your home doesn't offer
  Posted 14 months ago by Avery♥ | Permalink
- I'd like to add another vote for being able to plant both herbs and crops in any garden.
  I wouldn't mind if bog house owners still had an advantage in herb growing like shorter growing time or more efficiency, while meadow house owners had the same advantages with crops. But I feel my pain when I invested time and energy learning Herbalism 1, which is useless to me as things stand now. I would really enjoy growing herbs as well as crops.

- Unwheee.

- I harvested some Gandlevery from my crop garden today. :) It was so pretty. I shucked it quick, got two seeds and tried to plant them, too. :(
  But! I have two miracle Gandlevery seeds, grown in full sunlight!! Anyone want to plant 'em and continue this miracle genetic line? I have no herb plot.
  Posted 14 months ago by Dame | Permalink
- Why unwheee? It looks like everyone will have a chance to wheee again, to re-wheee as it were, at some point in the future.
  FOR A PRICE! :D Start saving your currants now....
  Posted 14 months ago by Nanookie | Permalink
- I saw this thread earlier, and went "Ooh! Must plant herbs!"
  So I did.
  I've just harvested them and, while I don't have any herb-growing skills, they seem a bit crap really. One seed giving one harvestable herb? Is that really the sort of ratio that people are getting?
  Suddenly, I'm less keen to get a herb garden!

- @FlickGC: Herb harvesting and shucking does start out pretty crappy, but improves significantly once you've learned Herbalism I and II. When i lived in the firebogs i'd do shucking for my neighbor because i had the Herbalism skills sooner than they did and got WAY better yields.
