Editing 23a:Crop

{{av}}{{Quality|Fine}}

'''Crops''' are plants that may be grown at [[Farming|farm plots]] or gathered from [[shrub]]s. There are two basic types of crops: above ground (AG) and subterranean (or underground, UG). The [[seed]]s of subterranean crops may be brought from the starting [[embark]] screen or, with some small luck, purchased from dwarven [[caravan]]s. Above ground crops cannot be planted by dwarves and must be purchased from [[human]] or [[elf|elven]] caravans or gathered by dwarves with the [[plant gathering]] labor enabled. Seeds may also be collected by processing the plants or eating them (but ''not'' by cooking!).

Several plants listed below are not strictly crops as such as they have no seeds and couldn't be planted even if you wanted to (see note "<sup>3</sup>", below).

Most plants can be [[brew]]ed into [[alcohol]]s, each plant type producing a different variation, and dwarves do prefer some variety in their drink. Some plants may be eaten raw, others must be cooked first, others must be processed first (by [[milling]] or [[plant processing]]) before they are edible, and still others are inedible, producing only non-food products. All drinks may be cooked into meals.

Plants, drinks and products have their values multiplied by how many items are created from a single plant [[stack]].

All drinks require a spare [[barrel]] for storage, and some other products also require specific [[container]]s for storage. Plants can be stored in barrels or individually; seeds are stored individually or in bags which can then be put into barrels.

While it is impossible to plant any crops during the winter, it may still be possible to harvest shrubs bearing these plants at this time.

'''Notes:'''
:1) The value of five units of drink/syrup, for comparison with [[flour]], [[extract]]s, etc. A [[stack]] of a plant produces 5x its size in drink/syrup.
:2) Anything that can be [[cook]]ed is edible afterwards. Cooking leaves no [[seed]]s for re-planting.
:3) These plants do not produce [[seed]]s when eaten or processed.
:4) These plants cannot be eaten until they are further processed, either by [[milling]] or by [[plant processing]], or (for [[sweet pod]]) either; see "products" column for final product and necessary [[labor]]:
::*'''b''': process to bag ([[quarry bush]])
::*'''l''': process to barrel ([[sweet pod]])
::*'''m''': mill ([[cave wheat]], [[sweet pod]], and [[longland grass]] are edible; [[dimple cup]], [[blade weed]], and [[hide root]] make only [[dye]].)
::*'''p''': process plant ([[pig tail]], [[rope reed]])
::*'''v''': process to (glass) [[vial]] ([[valley herb]])
::*'''e''': extract plant essence ([[kobold bulb]])
