Add ingredient (peat, maybe) to regular garden plot to make herb garden plot

I really wish I could grow herbs in my regular garden. Maybe it could be a new skill + ingredient (guano? peat?) that would permit herb growing outside the bogs.

  • Conversely, maybe herb gardens could get crop plots by adding some sort of light source, like wrangled fireflies or some such.

  • Peat -> herb garden.  Dirt -> crop garden.  I would love this!

  • While I would love the ability to grow crops and herbs in the same house, I do see that specialization leads to further interaction between played, either in public planting areas or via auctions. And I think that's good.

  • That's a good realization, Plurp.

    I think I get bogged down trying to do it all when I should be focused on interacting with other players to get what I want. It's like...you know, the purpose of Glitch. I think my mindset needs to shift from other games I've been playing.

    (See?! Glitch doesn't even have /commands! I'm a slave to my own ways...)

  • Or maybe something like a (private) allotment could be added to the game - i'm not talking about community gardens (I hate waiting/guarding seeds Ive planted). An allotment could be something you rent out and you would have to travel too - wouldn't be on your doorstep. For example - I live in Groddle Meadow - in this area there would be allotments for crop (for the people who live round Mazzala) and down in Mazzala would be herb allotments to rent.

    This workaround would still allow you to be in your chosen area and house but still have the private access to herb/crop gardens :D

  • "+1 for being able to grow both crops and herbs in the same house"

    ...it would appear that we can do that now. I just planted silvertongue next to my tomatoes in my back yard garden in Groddle Meadows. Then I wibbled with delight all over the forum.

    (Folks in chat are telling me it's a bug though and that it'll go away soon. Sadness. I feel like someone handed me a present and then snatched it back again. Meanies.)

  • I like the rented patches idea. You could purchase a timeshare (maybe timeshare plots could be accessible similar to apartments / homes) for a certain project, select any Glitchen you wish to collaborate with, if any, get a timed access object (like a special key for all participants in the project) and then proceed to grow your crops. You would have to allot enough time for them to completely grow and time to harvest before your timeshare ran out. The more tending and watering you do = faster grow time, bigger crops. Neglecting them or forgetting to harvest before your time runs out? You just dun goofed, son. Next time, allot more time or tend more. :)
