Vegetable Garden - How to Build and Use

How to Use Vegetable Garden

Make a Burgage Plot With Backyard Extensions

To start making Vegetable Gardens, you must first make Burgage Plots with Backyard Extensions. Simply extend the length of the plot points, which should allow Backyard Extensions once you construct the Burgage Plot.

Larger Backyard Extensions will yield more Vegetables, but it will also be significantly longer to plow and plant the Vegetables, especially if the residing Family is also assigned to a different building.

Consider the Vegetable Garden's Size

To expedite the plowing and planting process, you can make two homes share a Backyard Extension. To do this, simply place the plot points in a large rectangular shape, then press the minus sign until you see two home icons aligned with only one backyard icon.

This should ensure that the Plowing and Planting will be done before Winter arrives, even if the families are assigned to other buildings.

Reliable Early Food Source

Vegetable Gardens are great early game food sources, since they take less time to grow than Fields, less materials to make, and can even survive during the winter.

During Winter, Vegetable growth is temporarily paused, and will automatically resume once Spring arrives.

What to Do if Vegetable Garden is Not Working

Build Vegetable Gardens on Bigger Plots

The size of your Vegetable Garden is a key factor in determining its yield. If you happen to have a smaller plot, its crop income will only be enough to feed the residing family within that Burgage Plot, causing a shortage of vegetables on the Marketplace.

With this in mind, we recommend building Vegetable Gardens on plots that are big enough to sustain a large quantity of crop growth.

Assign Families to Simpler Tasks

Oftentimes, families might not have enough time to facilitate the farming process for their Vegetable Gardens as they are prioritizing a different assignment on your settlement.

A solution to this would be to assign the residing Family to a simpler task. Being assigned to a Granary or Windmill for example would result in less labor-intensive tasks, as compared to being assigned to a Woodcutter's Lodge.

How to Assign Workers

Wait for Harvest

Vegetables follow the same growth time and cycle as other crops sowed onto Fields. Simply wait around 6 in-game months in order for your Vegetable Garden to generate its yield.
