		+	See [[farming]] for a more general overview.
		+
		+	Farming can be a difficult skill to start, in the sense that getting your hands on the seeds as a new [[player]] can be extremely time consuming. But, since most people build their first [[House (general)\|house]] with at least some surrounding [[land]] [[fence]]d off...
		+
		+	[[Foraging\|Forage]] and [[Botanizing\|botanise]] a few times every time you log on. Every time you get a [[seed]], plant it in the grounds of your house.
		+
		+	'''Notes:'''
		+	* To prepare the ground for planting you may need to [[Flattening\|flatten]] and then cultivate it.
		+	* Initially you should start with an easier crop such as [[corn]], [[cotton]], [[potato]], or [[wemp plants]]. Otherwise you may get zero [[skill]] gain.
		+	* [[Onion]] and [[garlic]] definitely give zero skill gain with up to 22 in farming. They give some skill gain near 30.
		+
		+	Once you have sown your seeds, you want to farm the [[tile]] at least once every real [[day]].
		+
		+	You will raise your skill more quickly if you farm more often, although once every 6 hours is about the most often you will be able to.
		+
		+	Your crops should begin to ripen about 3-5 days after you planted them but this is not precise. Each tile will grow at a different rate and if you sow 10 seeds at the same time then those ten tiles may ripen individually at different times over 3-5 days.
		+
		+	You will rarely lose a harvest if you harvest at the same time every day. Crops that are ripe can often, though not always, still be properly harvested at the same time the following day.
		+
		+	Your crop will be ripe when the top turns yellow.
		+
		+	Your crops need to be harvested within about 24 hours of becoming ripe. If you harvest too early or too late you will get reduced yield. If you are only getting one potato, or whatever, anyway then you will get nothing from early or late harvesting.
		+
		+	At higher skill levels you should be able to harvest early or late without losing all of your crop.
		+
		+	After you harvest you should sow one seed right back into the tile.
		+
		+	You get almost no skill for sowing. You get most skill from farming and maybe a good deal less than that for harvesting.
		+
		+	With a 50-tile farm you will get roughly 1 point of farming per day if you tend your fields twice a day at 10 hour intervals. Takes about 20 mins to tend 50 tiles with a 10 [[QL]] [[rake]]. As your skill level improves yield increases from 2 through 3 and 4 to 6 and up to 10.
		+
		+	'''Tip:''': If possible always sow, farm, and harvest at the same time just before you go to sleep. That way, if you can check again first thing after you wake up, you should almost never lose any crop.
		+
		+	Alternatively, do all your farming immediately after you login, at the same time every day.
