#### Herb Garden Question

I keep finding herb seeds but can't plant them in my garden at home. Do you have to have a special herb garden plot or something? How do I get an herb garden? I just want to plant my seeds. Will someone please tell me what I need to do?
Thank you!

- Herbs will only grow in certain regions. If you look around the map or at the locations list in the Encyclopedia you'll see that some regions contain streets that are communal herb gardens. Anyone can use those.
  If you look at the realty listings you'll also see that houses in those regions have their own herb garden plots. The downside is that you can't grow anything but herbs in those houses.

- There are 3 Herb Gardens in the fire bogs: Shimla, Charkra & Jethimadh
  I wish you better luck than I have had there. I've planted many seeds, but the people who watch the seeds won't let you harvest anything, claiming everything is theirs. Crazy. I just dump all my seeds into shrines.

- The herb gardens are in the houses in the Bog areas of Ur. Chakra Phool, Jethimadh, Shimla Mirch, and Kalavana. (hope I spelled all those correctly) There is a public garden space in Jethimadh where anybody can plant herb seeds. Every house has either herb or vegetable garden plots. It would be nice if there were houses with both.

- I feel we should all have not only garden spots but herb spots as well... especially if you have the more expensive 50K homes, after all we have soooo much space in those houses and don't see a reason why we cannot have a herb garden like on the balcony.

- I have a herb garden and use it constantly. However I would love a crop garden on the roof of my house or something :D

- Jar haven - the trick is to bring guano to speed up the growing. My problem in community herb gardens has been opposite - even when I'm babysitting my herbs, it's unreal the number of folks who try to harvest them right out from under me!

- houses with both gardens is the second thing on my wishlist right after larger bags or the ability to nest them.

- Wintera, there shouldn't have to be a trick. If I've planted 10 seeds in 2 game days in the community garden, then I have the right to harvest plants, too. Someone running up saying, "That's mine." Fine, I had planted something in that same exact spot earlier. Where's "mine"? See, what I mean? Not to mention, my idea of fun doesn't include standing around a plot of land waiting for something to grow.

- If I put guano on an herb and someone grabs it from in front of me claiming they planted 10 seeds in 2 game days somewhere in the garden and are therefore entitled to the herb I've been tending, I'm going to be pretty angry.

- I gave up a 50k Alakol house to move into a 7500c Shimla Mirch house that had a herb garden. Rather than waste my time and effort with the public herb gardens, I now have the ability to grow herbs in the privacy of my own home. I don't miss being able to grow produce as there are produce vendors that will sell me what I need. Can't say the same about herbs.

- If you hit a plot with guano twice, it only takes another five or ten minutes before it is ready for picking. (yellow flowers take longest, I think, while gandelevery is really quick.) I use that time to grind spices, cook, repair tools and meditate. (I do the same in the subway.)
  I guess if nobody nicked seeds they never planted, you and that other person wouldn't end up in a position where you both think the plant there is the one from your seed. I had a glitch tell me she literally goes to all three com. herb gardens to "garden"' but when we chatted a bit it became clear that she never plants anything - just picks anything ready when she wanders through! Some people, haha!
  I find it hard to keep and eye on my loot when I can't find a few empty plots together. I was thinking that it'd be really nice if a) there were more plots in each garden and b) they came with some kind of parking meter or timer so you could reserve one for a few hours, locking the little pickers out until your time was up. Or maybe convert them to something more like the community allotments I use I real life, where I pay a fee each year to keep my plot in a shared space, and generally nobody else bothers it.
