First thing to say is that growing vegetable will take a lot
of time, just weeding one patch of veggies will take about
20 minutes, plus watering and then if you have several crops
you will find your Sim will have very little spare time.
Weeding is very important if you want your crops to be
at their maximum, plus if you leave the weeds to grow, they
will kill your plant. Apart from Weeding the only other
maintenance your crop will need is watering. This can be
done by your Sim or by the gardener, and if you are lucky
your pets can water the garden for you unprompted.
Growing Tomatoes and Beans mean the plants continually
produce crops, where as carrots and lettuce only produce
one crop. Therefore it is more cost effective to grow Tomatoes
and Beans over a long period of time.
Once you have harvested your crops you have two options,
one, you put your crops in to your pantry and use the produce
to cook with. This will save you money, as you will not
need to buy food from the fridge. Your other option is to
take your food to old town and sell it at the farmers market.
Around 100 vegetables could earn over 500 Simoleans. With
4 vegetable plots you could grow that number of vegetable
in around 10 days.
One of the major problems you will face in growing vegetables
is from pests. There are ways to control pests, which include
buying cats and dogs. Other ways are to scare away pests
include; Scarecrows, gnomes and the windmill.
Growing Vegetables can be a great money earner for a Sim
who’s just starting their career.
